Saw this demonstrated on future weapons the other day and have some questions.
How much bullet drop is there at it's max range of 1800 meters.
Does having lower muzzle velocity and larger bullet mean you'll have to compensate more for windage or less as compared to a 30.06
Thanks ahead of time for the answers.I've done all kind of searches,but they don't answer these questions.

I don't know exactly what the bullet drop for the .50 BMG is at 1800 yds. is, there are ballistic tables that will give you information you want.
As the .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun) projectile is much heavier than the .30-06 (600-750gr. to 125-220gr for the .30-06) it is far less susceptible to windage changes than the .30-06, just as the .30 caliber bullet is much more stable than the .22 cal. 45-65gr. bullets fired from any of the M-16 "poodle shooter" "Mattel Toy" variants.

The muzzle velocity is similar to that of the .30-06 at 2700 fps. Because the projectile is heavier 600-750 grains it is less effected by cross winds and retains in velocity much better. As for bullet drop at 1800 meters, not sure about that one but there are ballistics sites that can answer that question for you.
