[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 109655, member: 1622"] [ QUOTE ] This windage angle would give a little over 6 inches of deflection at 1000 yards which is what we see above (5.8 - -0.3 = 6.1 inches). [/ QUOTE ] ...only 6" of horizontal deflection at 1000yds for a 10deg cant seems an extraordinarily low value. Working this out the 'other' way ( [url="http://longrangehunting.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=109139&an=0&page=1#109139"]http://longrangehunting.com/ubbthreads/s...p;page=1#109139[/url] ) (taking bullet path -294 as meaning bullet drop is approx -328") gives a horizontal deflection of 57" (ie approx 10 times your value!) and a vertical change of -5" ...I haven't tried to rework your calculations.
