Coinneach & Mal H,

I stand in absolute awe of you 2, jaw drop and not bullet drop was pretty severe reading your results believe me.

I will now have to go into work tomorrow and eat crow. Just how much crow ?, well, I estimated that a flat shooter like the superb .300 Win Mag would have maybe 8 feet of drop at 2000 yards ! Yes, I know, major error, seems the author of said book was actually on the low side for his 2000 yard "snipe", with his drop of just over 100 feet. My thanks again, and if you 2 theoretical mathmaticians want to continue this to an agreed resolution, rest assured I'll be watching closely,

Best,

Mike H
