What quantity are you comparing, aalf? Wind drift w/ 10mph wind, drop, etc?

Just drop......

Of course wind will favor the better BC sooner, but at what point does it not matter if the coyote is in overdrive heading for the next section..... grin



Drop is largely irrelevant, its just math. Wind a lot more variable, and where those big, slippery bullets come into their own.
