This chart is calculated for your favorite bullet fired, at a guessed at speed from your rifle, of 1900 feet per second, and zeroed at 100 yard. The other day you wrote you had size 14 feets. One might guess that your shoulders are perhaps 6 feet above the ground. So..........the bullet will hit the ground after it has fallen about 6 feet.

The chart say the bullet will have fallen near 83 inches at 350 yard. This predicts your favorite bullet will have hit the ground before it travels 350 yard even if your shoulders are 6 feet above the ground. After that the bullet will probably bounce forward some before it stops.

Note that the bullet has 820 ft lb energy at 175 yard, so that is your self imposed maximum range.
