[QUOTE="akmtnhnt, post: 2885743, member: 120824"] All this, the bullet will go forever stuff isn't true unless you're aiming well above the horizon. We'll assume the rifle is held 5ft from the ground standing shot, shooting horizontally at a deer in one of the flattest places I've ever seen, so that seems reasonable. 375 ruger with a 260gr AB. MV right around 2900fps. Let's say you dial for 500 yards. It still hits the ground about 725yards. Let's say you're dialed at 1000y. You hit the ground at 1080. You can see how quickly that bullet more resembles an artillery shot and has more vertical than horizontal component. None of this it's going to go 2 miles crap. You'd need to be pointing at pure blue sky to do that. [/QUOTE]
