[QUOTE="Stoutthedog, post: 595253, member: 35716"] I think this might be the best forum to get an understanding of this event. The link below is to an article about an individual accidentally shooting two teenagers while target shooting in South Texas. It is very sad. The area is pretty flat. I've looked at the trajectory tables and cannot understand how this bullet, shot at a 300 M target, could have traveled another 1200 M and struck someone. I could not find any table that shows a .308 holdover for a 1500 M shot. Can anyone calculate the height of a 300 M target, from the shooter, that would allow the bullet to travel 1500 M to it's destination on level ground? There have been no published info on the bullet and I doubt there will be. What would the velocity and energy be assuming an unobstructed shot.
