Deer season is upon us! As I was getting some gear ready last night, I was thinking about which ammo from my stash I want to take. I will be using a .30-06 with either 150,165, or 180gr bullets. I looked at some online ballistic charts to compare their performance, and they all look fairly similar as far as bullet drop goes. Where the heavier bullets seem to excel over lighter bullets is in energy delivered on target as range is extended. If the heavier bullets do not have an appreciable difference in drop, then why would it ever be desirable to use the lighter bullets? Am I missing something?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
