[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2104578, member: 103947"] I think this question has been answered properly already but I had to chime in on this 100 grain .600 bc vs 200 grain .600 bc comment. Certainly not going to make it an argument but I use to believe that theory until I put it to the test at 1800 yards. Shooting both my 338 Lapua improved with 300 grain Berger's and a buddy's 30/338 improved with 250 ATips. 300s at 3000 fps and 250s at 3200 fps. Winds were pretty gassy and shooting both rifles with zero windage, my 300 grain bullets held wind better with equal BCs. His was the faster rifle at 3200 fps. Heavier even at equal BCs beats lighter when the wind is involved. Took me many past arguments to realize that. In the end, I have been wrong by letting theory steer me to my conclusion. When winds aren't a factor, I'll shoot my heavy 7s over my 338s any day. [/QUOTE]
