[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 20753, member: 3"] It's my understanding that if you launch two bullets at the same velocity and those two bullets share a common BC they will have very similar drop and wind drift characteristics regardless of the bullet weight and caliber differences. More graphically, a 55 grain .223 bullet with a BC of .300 and a 250 grain .338 caliber bullet with a BC of .300 both launched at 3000 fps will have nearly identical drop and wind deflection characteristics. Is this essentially true? [/QUOTE]
