[QUOTE="Natty Bumpo, post: 194772, member: 10106"] At the risk of splitting hairs, your math presumes a linear relationship between bullet drop and distance. Bullets don't drop in a straight line with a constant slope. If I recall my physics homework in trajectory correctly:confused:, they follow a parabola. The amount of drop between 800 and 900 hards will be more than the amount of drop between 200 and 300 yards. [/QUOTE]
