[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1430290, member: 9096"] How does the scope even adjust for 840 ft of bullet drop? The drop of the bullet will be gravity, or 32ft/s^2, so if the flight time is 10s (which seems exceedingly long) the formula is .5*a*t^2, or .5*32*10^2 = 1600 feet of drop! I just don't believe the flight time averaged that low.. If it was a 5 second flight with a good hot load behind it, that would change the equation to .5*32*5^2 = 400 ft drop.. still a lot, but closer to being manageable... I'm with you on the muzzle velocity, I'm thinking it was far higher than "standard" I don't doubt wind over 2.2 miles is hard to deal with.. especially since it most likely won't be consistent over that distance either [/QUOTE]
