[QUOTE="338Shooter, post: 741068, member: 3449"] Can you explain why this is? I can. The reason the bullet "rises" is because the line of site is higher than the bore. This doesn't help us hit what we want so ever so slightly we shoot the bullet up. This parabolic path causes the bullet to "rise". It is also the reason that you can not zero at 0 yards. At his 25 yard zero the bullet has traveled up about 2.5" which is pretty standard for the height of the line of sight over the bore. If it was zeroed with the line of site at the bore it would not ever in a million years rise above the line of site (put "0" in for sight height in the calculator). The shorter range you want to zero the more the bullet has to be shot upward. As shown with a zero at 1 yard, it has to go sky high to be able to cover that 2.5" vertically in 1 yard because of the velocity. [/QUOTE]
