What's faster at 100 Yards, higher or lower bullets?

[QUOTE="ericbc7, post: 2421520, member: 79488"] understood, what I was describing was a theoretical scenario Where both bullets leave the barrel at exactly the same angle to the horizontal. This was only an attempt to illustrate the role of gravity in ballistics. In real life, the harmonics affected by velocity, change the departure angle which probably accounts for much of the elevation difference. Since we are not releasing the two bullets at the same angle, there is no easy way to predict if a faster load will shoot higher or lower than a slower one so your illustration of a real world trial is very helpful to explain why we can’t just ”add a few clicks” when we know the velocity changes.
