[QUOTE="D2wing, post: 2504226, member: 38516"] Gravity is a constant and by far the strongest vector of bullet travel and it is always vertical. The other effects are small and vary. While some may choose otherwise, I would always keep my scope as vertical as possible and dial or hold for other variables per calculator. Also the vertical scope reticle should intersect the bore center. If not the line of flight will not be in the same vertical plane as the arc of travel. But then wind or other effect will curve that vertical plane of travel and bring it out of the arc between rifle and target. Now my head hurts. I don't see how you can calculate if you are not working off the vertical plane. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
