[QUOTE="ccsykes, post: 940971, member: 2288"] Wildrose, you are correct sir, it follows a one-sided parabolic curve. Look at the same bullet moving two different speeds, deflection is greater with the slower projectile with constant atmospheric conditions across the experiment. Yes a deviation at 100 yards impacts the location of a projectile striking a target more at 1200 yards than the same deviation from the bullet's 1000 yard position, i.e. a 1 MOA deviation at each distance. So physically it is correct to say a similar deviation closer to the muzzle as opposed to farther away will have a greater net result on the impact from center of target. But at the same time the projectile slows farther from the muzzle and is therefore affected more by lateral forces. By the way, it took 11 MOA at 1760 and I was still 5" right of center. [/QUOTE]
