I am an avid bow and rifle hunter and I spend much of my time in high mountains. All too often, my rifle shots are at 200 - 300 yards. I hunt elk with a. 300 Win Mag and I'm dead on out to about 400 yards. I recently shot a cougar at 325 yards and although I got a kill shot, it was really low. The shot was about a 18 degree decline. Does anyone know how much an increase OR decrease in elevation can effect bullet flight in a 30 caliber rifle? I know it does with bow hunting, do the same rules apply? Any tips or facts would be greatly appreciated. Happy Hunting! Mike Murray, Redmond Oregon
