[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 154452, member: 3756"] Remingtonman, Don't give up! You're right, if you're zeroed about 225 yards on the level, then shooting on a 45° angle at 280 yards you should be closer to 2" high; but a 60° angle at 280 yards, you would be about 5.75" high, now, that's closer to 6". Remember, in the excitement of the shot there is not much difference between 45° and 60° degrees visually speaking. Don't forget to pre-load your bipod before the shot, if you don't, it will have the tendency to shoot even higher especially when you extend the legs of the bipod. Start saving your pennies and get yourself an angle cosine indicator. Remember them coyotes you’ve been smacking, more likely the angles have not been so severe. You can do it!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck to you!!! [/QUOTE]
