Could one of the LOONG barrel guys please educate this FOG.

I found this chunk of ballistic table for the 338 Lapua 250 Grain Black Hills ammo, that implies a drop of 3368 inch(280 ft) at 7500 ft (2500 yds).

Do the Brits use 6x6 blocks under the rear scope mount??

How does one hold over by a football field??

Inquiring minds want to know???

This is in no way a call out on the Brit Sniper, I just can't fathom the geometry.
