[QUOTE="Corey Schwanz, post: 1068169, member: 85383"] Try running both loads through a ballistics calculator and then find the "crossover point" downrange where the bullet speeds pass each other (meaning the faster bullet becomes the slower and vice versa). If most of your shooting will be inside that crossover distance, then I'd shoot the lighter weight, faster bullet. If most of your shooting will be beyond that crossover point, I would use the heavier bullet with better BC to maintain velocity better at distance. Just one way of trying to pick a load. [/QUOTE]
