I've shot a lot of 75s but not many of the 88s and I'm curious

Thanks

The 75 ELD is a phenomenal bullet, but the 88 offer all the goodness of the 75 and more. Even at 500 the 88 already drifts a bit less in the wind and has cut the initial velocity difference in half. Both bullets are going fast enough to expand on flesh past 700 yards, and the 88’s advantage in wind drift and velocity retention only goes up as the distance stretches out. If your max range is 600 or 700, then the difference between the two isn’t huge unless the wind is really whistling.
