Just remember that in the common hunting distances, even ten percent doesn't have much effect on trajectory.

If you're sighted in for 200 yards, the usual drop for most deer cartridges at 300 yards is about six inches.

The drop at 270 yards would be around five inches. The one-inch difference is hardly worth worrying about.
Hey, absolutely, Art. That being said- my rifle isn't even being sighted in at a 25 degree slope, so it's even less than a 10% decrease. I just thought it was interesting to know the actual mathematic equation to figure out what I needed to know.
