BULLET DROP

<  Back to home

1. The difference between the bullet’s vertical position relative to the bore axis at any given point in its flight.

2. In ballistic performance tables, the deviation from the line-of-sight and the bullet’s position at any given point in its flight. In this usage, knowledge of the distance at which the sighting device is adjusted to yield a deviation of *zero* (“sighting-in” range) must be known.
