scott, callin BS again buddy, BC is what determines how much velocity it loses, any 2 bullets regardless of weight , with the same velocity and BC will drop the same.
Thats why I'd rather see say a 170 gr .284 bullet on the same profile as a 200 gr, .7+ BC on a 170 gr bullet, talking about a lazer!
we'll just hafta see what faris comes up with.

Ridge I am typing this very slowly so thatyouwill hopefullyunderstand. I am using a an extreme example in an attempt get "that light" to come on. My post said that the heavier bullet, (180 grain bullet) witha 150 grain bullet profile will tend to maintain velocity better than the lighter bullet (150 grain bullet)with the same profile.
Now suppose we have two bullets with exactly the same profile and the surfaces are equally smooth but one is made of styrofoam and one is made of lead to you actually think the trajectory of the bullets and the downrange velocity will be equal?
