Physics can certainly cause headaches in people with a lot of common sense because sometimes it just don't make sense!
I suppose... as I mentioned earlier, I can see it happening at 25 yds because the projectile has not reached it's zenith of trajectory. Maybe I've never experienced it because I don't make a habit of changing projectiles in a rifle that I have sighted for one or the other.
Guess I'll have to give it a try sometime...
maybe I can get Semi to buy me a beer, although he know's he's safe because there's slim to no chance I'll travel to Loozyanna to collect!
