    What’s similar to .223 for ballistic performance

    Is there any larger calibers that would share the same point of impact and ballistic coefficients at most ranges up to 600m.

    For example at 25-06 hits the same point as .223 at 100,200,300 and so on. Or is it all about weight/gravity?

    ballistic coefficent and velocity I believe will be the two magic components....if the effect of gravity and air resistance is the same eg the BC and start speed are the same........

    I’m thinking gravity acts the same on all right. If you dropped a 50 cal projectile and a .233 projectile at the same time from you hand. They would hit the ground at the same time. It all depends on velocity and aerodynamics then??
