[QUOTE="rjmarine, post: 1205026, member: 30201"] yes the wind is not our friend with these smaller lighter bullets. i hunt and take shots based on many factors and if there is to much wind for the bullet i happen to be hunting with i will just pass on that shot. i have done a lot prairie dog shooting with a 221 fireball at ranges from 100 -600 yrds and you learn very fast just how much wind can toss light bullets around. all that shooting with the 221 with a 40gr really does help with judging the wind and hold when big game hunting. the 80gr TTSX seem like a super high B.C. bullet after shooting the 221. i know bullets can also be a lot like the chevy/ford/dodge thing and some guys just use a bullet based on its name and how high its B.C. is. i tend to use a bullet based on how well it groups and how well it will work on the game i will be hunting with it. these 80gr TTSX group very well is this rifle and so far have all opened up and performed well on game. i have another 25x47 that will not shoot them well at all and i use 100gr partitions in that rifle. i will take a bullet that groups very well over a bullet that just has a high B.C. just having a high B.C. does not mean that bullet will group the best .
