Long range hunting comes down to 2 separate things wind and flight time

[QUOTE="kgunz11, post: 2619483, member: 5110"] Mike, I have to disagree. The less time a bullet is in the wind, the less it is affected by the wind. A Berger 140gr Hybrid has a BC based on it's drag profile. That bullet fired out of a 6.5Creedmoor has more drift at 1000 yards than the same bullet fired out of a 6.5PRC that is shooting it 150fps faster. That's an inarguable fact that can be verified with any ballistics solver. Wind drift and ToF are absolutely relative. Also, you say "drag goes up with velocity". Actually, surface area and shape affect drag measurably, velocity does very, very little. [/QUOTE]
