Sounds about right - 5.3 mils at 700... my Dasher was 4.7mils on a 700yrds target used on one of the stages yesterday.

“Weaponized math,” “ballistics,” “trajectory,” “projectile physics,” what have you... it’s actually a lot of fun.

Really fun when you look at a time of flight table for your rounds... it’s not so uncommon to send bullets within a relatively easily managed trajectory on a 2-3 second flight. A lot of folks don’t realize just how long it takes for bullets to travel, so it’s exceptionally common during long range classes or competition matches when a new shooter is poised to spot impacts, they’ll call a miss (“no call,” or “re-engage”, or “next target,”) then immediately have to stumble it back and call “impact!”. Getting out to 1200+, a guy can cycle the bolt and be back on target before the first bullet arrives!
