[QUOTE="Brent, post: 17447, member: 99"] Thanks for the link Dimitrios. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I read the second page there and it was enlightening. Wouldn't display the first page but, I think what Mike is saying is the total drop from the muzzle * the cosine of the angle is the true answer, either in MOA or inches. I've not checked it out yet, but I'll bet that's the correct method, most accurate anyway. The other method, drop * cosine from the 100 yard zero is real close, and might be easier with those numbers in memmory vs the total drop numbers. Definitely a step up in accuracy over the range * cosine method, which sounds like it's really the one that isn't accurate out far, or with steep slopes. Thanks again for the link. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I'll have to see if the fist page comes up tomarrow, I'd like to read it too. [/QUOTE]
