[QUOTE="Robbin, post: 437848, member: 12246"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]The higher BC for bucking the wind at long range over rides any advantage the extra MV buys you at the closer ranges. My MV is 2390 and the BC on the 140 VLDs is .612. The yardage is known, dialing up a few more MOA at close range is not very important. The wind blowing is the variable across the entire flight path that bites you in the rear end. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]The much higher BC reduces the amount of error that I can make doping the wind. At about 600 yards the 140 has overcome the MV and ME advantage that the lighter bullets had. As one long range shooter put it, Velocity is temporary, BC is forever....[/FONT][/COLOR] My step son shots the 123's, but his gun groups them a lot better, my gun shoots the 140s about the same, so I choose the higher BC.
