[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 2279687, member: 96226"] Apparently OP thinks the angle of repose of a bullet fired long range is some substantial number. It is most certainly not the case for direct fire weapons. Even if you had to use 240MOA of up on a shot which would be enough to get a .45-70 running black powder charges and a 500gr bullet to 800yrds, that's only 4 degrees off the line of sight. If you were firing something with such a rainbow trajectory as to have the shank of the bullet hit the target then you're firing a mortar. [/QUOTE]
