Brain teaser for the day...

Boltman:
Jbm trajectory calculator shows 16" lower and 27' right with 0 mph wind and a 45 degree cant to the right.

I find that hard to believe, lose of 1/2 of elevation is only 16" low.

Yeah, I see your point. It is a computer program so I guess you have to take it for what it is.

Think of a 45 degree cant on a clock face. That would be 1:30. At that point, the POI has moved more laterally than vertically.

At 45 degrees it wouldn't it be exactly half? You've lost half your elevation and turned it into windage.

you lose about 30% of the elevation with a 45 degree cant.

And to throw more dust into the cloud, "heavy, slow bullet"punkin trajectory. Don't forget barrel droop too-gonna be lower and further right than calculated trajectory. The dead cow might be a real consequence.
