I ran some numbers today out of curiosity. I wanted to figure a approx wind drift with a 5 mile per hour wind . I was comparing what I would consider a light bullet (270 Emax ) with a BC .378 (which is inflated because BC is figured at 2800 fps) at 2350 fps against a 530 grain conical . I guessed the conical BC at .375 at a velosity of 1250 fps . What amazed me is that if my numbers are close we are only talking about a 5 inch difference in wind drift at 500 yards . The Emax drifts 5 inches less . That's really not that much difference to me . The 270 Emax will drift aproximently 17 inches and 530 conical will drift 22 inches . That's not real world numbers and I'm guessing so don't hold me to this !. Am I close ?
