why do shots drop more when shooting at a small incline at extreme range?

[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 680183, member: 13285"] 5 degrees is a very small correction. It should not make much of a difference to your slope to horizontal distance. Not enough angle to see the effect that I described. You need a much greater angle to get the difference between the slope distance and horizontal distance to get this effect. I ran the numbers with one of my loads and with this very small angle, the elevation required is still less by 0.2MOA. So maybe you made a mistake in your input? However if you input 1993 yards and shoot it as 0 angle you need less by another 0.3MOA so it depends on how you reduce the distance. [/QUOTE]
