[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 238636, member: 11717"] I have to agree with the comments in general so far. Terrain usually does look steeper than it actually is, Some quick math for 20 degrees @ 534 sighted distance works out to be about 503 horizontal yrd with a diff of 31 yds which equalls about 5 inches in drop in a 300 RUM at that range. Those are very simplistic calculations but fairly close for those inputs. 15 degrees might have brought it down to 3-4 inches drop diff. In any case, it sounds like a good shot for that distance but lucky that the distance or angle were not much greater. Congrats on your cow. [/QUOTE]
