[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 171173, member: 704"] No, that isn't what I was comparing. Wrong on both cases. I was using 30 caliber. Weight makes no difference to wind, only ballistic coefficient. A 200 gr 30 caliber bullet with a ballistic coefficient of .435 will drift the same as a 100 gr smaller caliber with a ballistic coefficient of .435. Energy is another matter, but bullets of the same weight and caliber, but with different ballistic coefficients will have different energy. I can change it to 500 yards and it will then be under 600 and show the same big difference. Ballistic coefficient is why a 6.5 Creedmoor outperforms the 308 Winchester. Bullet construction is important, but the big factor in penetration into animals is sectional density. Ballistic coefficient means nothing once the bullet meets the target. I don't know what you mean by raw knockdown power. A high ballistic coefficient, a low ballistic coefficient if they hit the target at the same velocity have the same energy. [/QUOTE]
