    Fascinating thread. I'm wondering if 22s wind drift advantage is constant - ie what would happen at higher muzzle velocities - say 21 fpe with Bis Mags? My gut tells me the little pellet would start to come out in front.

    The software doesn't seem to factor in the difference in rates of spin between the two calibres and what effect this has on wind drift,- if any. I'm guessing that a 177 pellet has a higher rate of spin at a given ME but I am by no means sure.
