[QUOTE="ericbc7, post: 2420948, member: 79488"] If the bullets are launched at an equal angle from horizontal (including effects of harmonics etc.), and since acceleration due to gravity is essentially constant and perpendicular to horizontal, the projectile that takes the longest to reach the target will print lowest on that target. If you have a situation where the slower bullet hits higher than the faster one, you cannot be launching them at the same angle (due to harmonics or flinching or whatever). Figuring how bullet shape, bullet RPM or rotation of the earth may come into it is well beyond my level of expertise! [/QUOTE]
