[QUOTE="Michael Courtney, post: 983210, member: 28191"] I hunted Ohio for many years, and there are a lot of windy days during Ohio's firearms season. A high BC .358 rifle bullet from a straight-walled pistol cartridge will drift much less in a stiff wind and be much more reliably effective at 200 yards. Shotgun slugs were always a dicey deal. In addition to wind drift, they also had a lot of muzzle velocity variation with temperature, and accuracy issues when the velocity approached the speed of sound, which also becomes an issue at 200 yards.
