    @Shearer I put you slightly wrong. The example photos below are a rough 308 shooting a 150gr soft point at 2800fps. First photo is a 100 zero and shows the point at which trajectory meets LOS is about 70. You will see however that it doesn't really cross over and they stay together to 100 until the trajectory falls away again below LOS.

    Second photo is at 200 zero and shows a very clear cross over for a period of time.

    Hopefully that makes it clear enough. Also note that this is yards not metres, just a very simple ballistic app I have on my phone for mucking around with numbers.
