[QUOTE="Cuz, post: 1101010, member: 80752"] Bullets start falling as soon as they leave the barrel. Gravity. To sight in at 100 yds a bullet must start out below the scope so the scope is adjusted down which makes the bore be angled up to compensate. A bullet will cross the line of sight twice if your sighted in at 100 yds, once coming up at about 50-60 and then coming down at 100. This happens because the scope is pointing down, allowing the bore to be raised. The only way for a bullet to rise is if the muzzle is tilted up. I have the same rifle with a 338 norma barrel and use a 40 minute base and have no problem at 100 although i am close to the end of adjustment. [/QUOTE]
