[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 500250, member: 1007"] If you apply the correct math, I beg to differ. You could rotate the example below so that it was 90 degrees straight down. The math works the same. Take the boreline drop times the cosine of the angle and deduct it from your corrected drop, adjust accordingly and you will hit your target. You will not be able to adjust your scope dials for a perfect hit. You will still have to aim low at 1K at 90 degrees but you would be close enough to hold under. You could typically get within 1-1.5 MILS or roughly 4 MOA. Using a MIL or MOA reticle, you would simply adjust your dials to the best setting (which would typically be for a 100 yard standard zero) and hold under for the value calculated.
