Actually, bullets do rise when the leave the barrel, because the barrel is pointed upward slightly.
Yes gravity is pulling it down, but generally somewhere 100-150ish yards depending on your zero, the upward travel levels out then the bullet starts descending.
Think about a quarterback throwing a football. He's throwing it upward to if he wants a deep pass. the ball goes up then starts falling.
A bullet does the same thing when fired. Your scope is mounted level or at a slight downward angle. The bullet will cross the scopes line of sight twice, once around 50-75 yards, again, depending on your zero and again at your zero distance.



All that said, it's been my experience dead on at 50 yards is about 1.5" high at 100 yards for most standard calibers.


There are two types of gun enthusiasts ... Those who have been F#CKED by PTG and those who will be!
