[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 64049, member: 3"] I'd agree with the assessment that there is no discernable difference at 100 to 200 yards. Several years back I did a zero check and trajectory check at about 10,000ft as compared to my usual 600ft altitude. Not until I was at 500 yards did I see anything of any consequence and then it seemed to indicate about 1 MOA less drop per every 100 yards beyond 400 yards (additive, as in 1 MOA less at 500 yards, 2 MOA less at 600 yards, 3 MOA less at 700 yards). Don't forget the lesser effect on wind also but again not until you're out there a bit. [/QUOTE]
