Not trying to be argumentative, but to clarify the statement above, I wasn't talking from a ballistic coeffecient prospective. I should have been a little more clear about that. I was talking from a trajectory prospective...

The BC is
about trajectory; it tells you which bullet flies thru the air better. Consider the following from a brochure on Federal Premium ammunition, with .270 Win. Sierra GameKing BTSP bullets, both zeroed at 200 yds.:
130 gr., MV 3060, -6.5 in. @300 yds., -19 in. @400 yds., -38.5 in. @500 yds
150 gr., MV 3000, -6.5 in. @300 yds., -18.9 in. @400yds. -38.3 in. @500 yds.
Notice the
trajectory is virtually identical (due to the higher BC of the 150gr. bullet), but the 150 gr. will deliver much more energy when it gets where it's going.
