[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1630971, member: 31264"] Yup, hence my choice of the word "virtually". For our case, with lead bullets and copper jackets, (no sheet of paper or feathers), the relatively short time and distance of the drop, and the very low drop velocity, the difference is insignificant and can be ignored [U]for the purpose of the discussion[/U]. However you are totally correct about this. I knew that going in but didn't think anyone would challenge it so I deliberately deleted a paragraph I had originally included to describe it because it was too confusing and didn't really matter in the big picture. Therefore I used the word "virtually" and other similar terms instead when discussing this minor effect. I also avoided discussing temperature, pressure, and humidity even though these have an even bigger affect on the results. I really only wanted to help other readers understand that it's all about time of flight because that insight really helps the shooter understand what is happening. [/QUOTE]
