Q: How does the wind drift of this load compare to heavier bullets in the same caliber?

A: Despite being lighter than some other 6.5mm offerings, the high BC of the 124gr Hammer bullet provides excellent wind drift resistance. It often performs comparably to heavier bullets while offering a flatter trajectory.
