[QUOTE="JBM, post: 110003, member: 1969"] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] SNIP Think about it this way, if I tilt my rifle to the right 90 degrees, ALL the drop becomes windage in my scope. As an example, if I my elevation angle is zero (just to make it simple), and I have a 90 degree cant, my 300" drop (made up number) becomes 300 inches of windage in my scope. It's still 300" of drop at the target -- I didn't miss the target by 300" to the right. SNIP [/ QUOTE ] All of the BULLET drop does become windage( in the scope view), BUT your "aiming error/vertical compensation" has now become Windage "from the shooters view"! IMO, Brown Dog is pretty close ( 50+ inches )! IMO, you WOULD miss right by 300 inches! Your bore is pointed 300 inches ABOVE the scope centerline( under normal conditions), and if you rotate 90 degrees right, then the bore is now 300 inches to the right of the scope! ( assuming a 1000 yard target). edge. [/ QUOTE ] This was an example to show the different coordinate systems. Elevation in this example is zero. So as I said it's a 300 miss at the target, down, not in windage. [/QUOTE]
