[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1848364, member: 109862"] All things being equal heavier bullets will almost always give lower es numbers. This makes sense when we think of how the energy of a projectile increases exponentially with velocity. It’s not that heavier pills are more consistent, it’s that the same natural fluctuations, the tolerance, in the muzzle ENERGY exist with both heavy and light bullets, the lighter the bullets the more this energy fluctuation shows up as wide ES numbers.
