[QUOTE="Calamity, post: 2104500, member: 112048"] Hi Guys. The thing that is missing in this thread so far is inertia. If two bullets have the same shape and dimensions, but one is heavier, the heavier bullet will resist change more than the other. That is inertia. The one with the greatest inertia will resist a change in conditions longer. It will resist a change in velocity longer, and change in spin, a change in potential kinetic impact energy, and therefore, given the same starting velocity, it will sustain velocity longer, meaning extended range, greater impact energy, less wind drift, etc. [/QUOTE]
