Rifle Bullet Trajectory

Video Transcript

"Some things to think about is the weight of the bullet. When we're talking about trajectory, the weight of the bullet and the amount of the powder behind it, the more powder that is behind it, the faster that bullets going to fly so it's going to go further before it drops. That in combination with the amount of grains in a bullet. Whether it's a one thirty grain bullet to a hundred ninety grain bullet, it's going to determine if it's going to fall faster after two hundred yards or if it's going to fall at a lesser rate. Any trajectory charts that you look at will show, on an average bullet. If this thing is sighted in at two hundred yards. What I mean by that is, if the cross hairs are right on the ten x at two hundred yards. At five hundred yards, the bullet might drop twenty seven inches, hypothetically speaking. That way, I can also think, well, if I had this sighted in at two hundred yards. If I'm shooting an animal at a hundred yards. I would actually; my cross hairs would be an inch and a half above. The bullet would hit an inch and a half above where the cross hairs are sighted. Those are some things to consider when you are thinking about accuracy."
