[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 125224, member: 5"] ****!!!!! Now I've got to sell about 500# of heavy bullets and get me some little bitty ones. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Sure wish I'd have know this a looong time ago. Here all these years I've been shooting the wrong booolits. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] All of the testing and long range shooting and comparison not only with multiple software programs but years of field experience and playing and testing have all been wasted. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] I'm tired of switching so I think I'll just stick with the heavy, slow, long in flight bullets since my feeble little mind seems to think that thousands of rounds, in the field, and a lot of dead animals, have proven the heavy for caliber, high BC bullets have ALWAYS proven to be better in the wind and at long range than any light weight speedster ever.
