[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 667353, member: 30902"] Weight is but one of the factors in the equation, but when it comes to resisting cross winds it's extremely important. The heavier the object in flight is, the more energy it takes to force it from it's initial flight path. The amount of force exerted against that bullet is a function of wind direction, speed, and duration of time of flight. The profile of the bullet also comes into play as a long, streamlined bullet presents less surface area for the wind to work against than a big fat flat or round nosed bullet. [/QUOTE]
