[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1036380, member: 12995"] I don't get paid money to shoot, so I'm not a professional, but I definitely wouldn't consider myself a novice by any means... So IMO, the velocity helps. But you are right, it's not everything. Shot placement is way more important. However, without that added 200+ fps velocity, at longer ranges it will affect your windage more, therefore making it slightly harder for precision shot placement estimates. This is why the 6.5mm calibers are dominating the competition world, where the .308 Win used to... The 6.5's are more slippery (higher BC's for the bullet's weight class) and are faster, therefore they buck the wind better, making guessing your wind corrections easier, by needing less adjustment.
