So, by math, the difference would be .2 feet of difference in drop. That's what I needed to know- thanks folks!!
It means that the angular correction is only .2 feet. The difference in bullet drop over .2 feet is smaller than I care to calculate, but I'm sure it is less than even the adjustments of the finest 1/8 MOA scope.

Just zero as normal.

For what it is worth, whenever you shoot uphill or downhill, you don't get into "interesting" differences in bullet impact until you are more than 25 degrees of slope, which gives you a 10% reduction in range to correct for. Which means at 1000 yards, with a 25 degree slope, you would use your 900 yard zero.

At short ranges and small angles, it really doesn't matter. In fact, anything inside your point blank range is "point and pull" no matter the angle, if you use a +/- 2" pbr zero.
