[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 524118, member: 4191"] Less holdover is required for either an upslope or downslope shot. The magnitude of the correction becomes larger and larger with both increasing distance to the target, and increasing slopes. The guys that are taking sloping shots at the longer ranges are likely all using a ballistics software program to determine the exact dope. Out past ~ 500 yards, and with slopes exceeding 10%, the corrective dope starts to become critical if you hope to connect. At 750 yards with 30% slopes, the reduced holdover with my 300 Win Mag - sighted in at 300 yards - is about 20 inches. I mean 20 Inches of difference compared to shooting on the level. We've moved up into units of [U]feet of correction[/U] - rather than inches of correction. [/QUOTE]
