[QUOTE="ShtrRdy, post: 2009159, member: 40852"] I've tried to get a better understanding of this in the past as well. It seems to me that the problem comes into play because the bullet has to fly through an arc to get to the target due to gravity. A 1000 yard shot is going to have more arc than a 500 yard shot. The bullet 'drop' between these two distances is not linear. i.e. there is more than twice the drop at 500 to get you on at 1000. Therefore any cant will cause more impact error at 1000 than at 500. You might be able to take a ratio of the two drops to get an idea of how much worse cant is at 1000 with respect go 500 or some other distance. [/QUOTE]
