I disagree, Paul. The 168 A-Max has a much higher BC and can be safely driven about 500 fps faster than the 220 RN. Consequently, the wind deflection for the 220 at 600 yards is more than double what we'd get with the 168. Do the calculations and you'll see the difference. (To make matters worse, the 220 RN starting at 2000 fps goes transonic well before 600 yards - not good for stability.)


Now that I've read your reply Para....  I think to myself - "What the heck am I thinking?"  LOL  As usual, you're the voice of reason when some of us go as squirrely as a undersized bullet in a badly worn bore!  But, in truth, I was thinking more in terms of very light bullets (like 110 gr, etc.), but I think your logic still applies.  Sometimes, I gotta take a step back and re-think things!
