RE: .204 Ruger for small varmints
Now I'm not so sure myself. A little comparison at the range one breezy day in 1998 got me to doubting what I had understood for 25 years was a foundation of ballistics. I called Sierra ballistics and the tech indicated bullet weight was an "independent" of the theory - cited the example of the 50 BMG vs. the 300 Wby. He also made a comparion of two bullets with the exact same shape - one made of aluminum and one made of tungsten. BC and MV are the same. Which one is less affected by wind? The heavier one of course. Made sense to me at the time. Now I'm starting to wonder . . . . may call Sierra again and get a second opinion.
