A ballistics question
Theoretically we have 22 cal., 30 cal. and 35 cal. bullets all have the same ballistic coeffecient and are traveling at the same velocity.
If we fire these bullets at the same time, velocity, etc, with a wind blowing 90 degrees to the bullets flight. Would the larger calibers be effected more by the wind then the smaller?

Wind deflection would be identical. The only factors determining wind deflection is wind, air density, BC and velocity.

Don't know the coriolis effect to say. HTH, Dutch.

Absolutely right.
