Default Wind, bullets and trajectory.

Alot of people say that a smaller lighter bullet will be affected alot more by the wind than a heavier bullet, IMO once the bullet leaves the muzzle it is on its own, a heavy bullet will not drop any more than a light one as long as they are going the same speed so a light weight bullet will not be blown off any more than a heavy one by the wind. It all depends on how long it takes the bullet to reach its target. A 300 gr bullet traveling at 3000 FPS should' nt drop anymore than a 75gr bullet traveling at the same speed so why should the 75 gr. be blowed off more than the 300 gr?
