[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1156878, member: 63138"] I have a real world example rather than talking what ifs. I took a piece of paper 5 feet long and 18 inches wide and stuck a stick on orange target circle at the top of the paper and then put the paper at 200 yards and fired 3 shots (the rifle is zeroed at 200 yards). I then backed up to 300 yards, then 400 yards and then 500 yards firing 3 shots from each distance at the orange target circle. I was doing this to verify bullet drops out of my rifle before heading out after some Montana p-dogs. The rifle used was a 223 Rem firing 53 grain VMAXs. Group sizes were as follows: 200 yards: 1.063 inches 300 yards: 1.938 inches 400 yards: 2.219 inches 500 yards: 3.906 inches Some of these group sizes support the theory of twice as far then twice the group size and some don't. But if some don't. that indicates as was said above, "60% of the time.... it works every time." [/QUOTE]
