[QUOTE="parshal, post: 2501400, member: 605"] Smoke them how? With drop, wind drift, retained energy or retained velocity? What starting velocity using the 130? I've run small/fast until last year when I ran the 156 at 2950. Compared to the 124 HH at 3150, the 156 at 2600 has less wind drift (.1 mil) at 500 and the same retained energy but less velocity. It's 800 or 900 yards before they begin to even out but wind drift is still less on the 156. I only know the above because I may go back to the 124 since all of my shots at antelope and elk have been less than 400. Honestly, though, wind drift is of more importance to me than anything else. It's the one variable that is difficult to account for. [/QUOTE]
