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

[QUOTE="ajhardle, post: 680824, member: 49861"] Thanks for sending me to that thread. Mr. Perry states "there is no difference between uphill and downhill." This seems true at reasonable distances. Like 1000 yards for my .223 and 2500 yards for your .375. Alot has happened in 5 years, and I am curious as to what his answer is now. He also said coriolis is negligble. really????? I always combine spin drift and coriolis into my calculations, and believe me, it makes a difference. I guess the only thing to do now is try it for myself and see how my results compare with predictions. 1st step: Get my .223 shooting through transonic. This might include a corrected b.c. for a .224 x 1.2" projectile going sideways. 2nd step: get my s.d. in low single digits on a day with zero wind. or revert to plan B, which is to accept the fact that I will never shoot small enough groups at such extreme distances as to be able to acquire usable data. I'll let you know if i make it past step 1 after fire season has ended. [/QUOTE]
