[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2913026, member: 109862"] Thanks for sharing that real world observation, always better than theory. I like both light and fast and heavy high bc loads, just for different things. But for sure bc does matter a lot and after a certain range no amount of muzzle velocity atones for a low bc especially in the wind. Inside “normal” hunting distances I like light and fast tough bullets for the hold on hair point blank range and the unique terminal performance that hypervelocity generates. My .257 weatherby with 75-115 grainers is a prime example of this kind of ballistics. But at any real distance, for sure anything beyond 500 yards expected, I know it’s limitations and opt for the 300 win mag with the 225 eld m, 195 tmk, or 200 smk depending on what I’m using it for. It doesn’t shoot as flat…at first…and that doesn’t matter much at distance when it comes to being able to consistently hit anything (and hit it hard) [/QUOTE]
