[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 7067, member: 34"] Aussie If your taking "LONG" shots just take a spotter shot first and it will eleminate any downhill or uphill "mystery." You could have drop charts for every 10 degrees that you are shooting or I have a protractor and level attached to the side of my 338/416 that gives me the degrees I'm shooting. I look at the series of drop charts for the degrees I'm shooting and it works out fine. The "BEST" method for us though, is to take the spotter shot first and correct to the impact. At the ranges we shoot, theres to many variables to try for one shot hits. We want a kill shot when we go after that animal and not a wounding situation which can easily occur from 1250 yds to 2100 yards and further. At 500 yds to 750 yards it's a different ballgame entirely. One shot kills are routinely made even with uphill and downhill shots. Practice shooting the angles you think you will be hunting in and see what the rifle does. You can make up your own actual fire drop charts. Later DC [/QUOTE]
