[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1187740, member: 33822"] In the most simple form, the equation is simply D=RT, or, Distance = Rate * Time. Distance being the Horizontal drift in inches. Time being time of flight of the bullet. getting the tof is complicated ballistics that Bryan Litz is great at. Rate is the difference in velocity that the target is traveling with respect to the shooter/bullet. That is calculated by knowing the velocity of the earth at the equator and then adjusting based on latitude. When the velocity of the target and the bullet/shooter is the same the R value drops to zero and there is no D (distance), or drift. [/QUOTE]
