[QUOTE="DocUSMCRetired, post: 1186991, member: 85458"] No, shot inclination is separate. We don't use the improved rifleman's rule, or rifleman's rule. We use a function of Mach vs. Drag. So that the rate of drop of the bullet at distance is properly accounted for in the formula. We do not just scale the trajectory, we actually take in to account the physical affects of uphill vs downhill. This is covered in Chapter 4, page 53 of Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting Third Edition by Bryan Litz. A lot of this is over thinking. Most shooters will not be able to differentiate the minor horizontal effect of Coriolis vs wind call. This is really only important for shooters who need 1st round accuracy. If you get sighters, it wont affect you. [/QUOTE]
