So I was comparing wind drift between the 130gr AR Hybrid and 140gr Elite Hunter. EH has a .310 G7 and the AR has a .287 G7. Getting 2790 from the EHs and 2910 from the ARs. Was thinking because I was crowding 2800 with the 140 that they would be better in the wind. Much to my surprise, not so. The 130 AR Hybrid shows a 10mph wind bracket out to 500 yards then drops to a 7mph out to 1k. The 140 shows 7mph wind bracket out to 700 then 6mph out to 1k. Never would have thought a 120fps muzzle velocity advantage would buy me that much less wind drift.
Not going to change my hunting load this late in the game but will investigate the 130s closer when I get back...
I was predisposed to chase as much BC as I can get but apparently that is not always the best course of action...
