[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 134552, member: 10"] BJlooper, I have not run the numbers but I do not think any realistic angle would allow an extra 400 yards in super sonic velocity. Up and down angles have more to do with bullet impact then with velocity changes. Most velocity drop is due to drag on the bullet form the air it is flying through, gravity really does not slow a bullet dramatically. Now altitude does play a huge role in how far a bullet will remain supersonic. For instance, at 10,000 ft. you would get much more range supersonic then at sea level. The speed of sound is less at high altitude because the air is thinner, same reason why the bullet will stay super sonic longer in the higher altitudes thin air. The measured range is from point A, you, to point B, the critter. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
