[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 448506, member: 24624"] According to Sierra as cited by Buffalobob, a tail wind results in less drag and higher POI while a head wind increases drag resulting in lower POI. [url=http://www.exteriorballistics.com/ebexplained/4th/531.cfm]exterior ballistics[/url] A lot of these things are relatively small factors compared to breathing and trigger control. I'm not aware of anyone making concave ogives. But, if someone comes up with a lightweight bullet with low BC that opens up into a Rage Broadhead at impact. I'll be first in line to give it a try. ;-) Until then, I'm using heavy bullets for caliber with high BC and proven lethality for long range hunting. [/QUOTE]
