In actuality all bullets drop at the same speed. They are pulled down by gravity and gravity is constant. The trick is to get to the bullet to the target faster so it hasn't had as much time to drop. Thus, the faster a bullet moves, the less it drops for any given distance.

A 230 grain bullet won't give you top speed. If you want the least drop, select the lightest bullet and load it with the maximum amount of an appropriate slow burning powder.
