[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 384112, member: 11717"] After reading that thread, "Later" is either jacking you around or doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. There are only two things that matte in external ballistics in short, medium, long or any range, and they are velocity and BC, period. It's very easy to demonstrate by playing with a ballistic calc. If you have two identical bullets leave the muzzle at different velocities, the faster one is going to get to the same point (any point) faster and go farther, and buck wind better. If you have two bullets leaving the muzzle at the same velocity, the one with the higher BC will get down range faster, blah, blah , blah, period. don't matter what caliber weight or anything else. BC and velocity are the only things that count. Just run a couple of ballistic calcs and ask "Later", uhhhh.... what abou this??? :) [/QUOTE]
