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

[QUOTE="ajhardle, post: 680411, member: 49861"] Augustus, i am confused. You are a more experinced shooter, and i assume more skilled shooter, than I, and your knowledge is more valuable than my findings that may never affect my shooting. That said, I am just relaying info. It is there, you are missing two key points. First is that am talking about the difference between uphill and downhill. You may have understood that, but [B]make sure to use the negative sign[/B] in the calculations. Second point is EXTREME distances. The [B]375 cheytac is amazing and makes extreme[/B] much less extreme compared to varmint cartrige. So I implore you to try two things: Calculate your 375 at 3000 yards at both uphill and downhill angles of 6degrees, and also try my 223 load with g7 bc of .208 at 2890 fps. I know how ridiculous 2000 with a 223 sounds, I am just using it as an example to show that at extreme distances things vary between uphill\downhill shots. [I]([B]Ballistic FTE predicts 70" difference[/B] between 6 and -6degrees for rm 375 rbtat @3400fps at a range of 3000 yards. I thought that was interesting.)[/I] [/QUOTE]
