Man, that's impressive. How much does a 7.62 drop at 950 yards?

The bullet probably drops about 30 ft from the line-of-site of the barrel at that range.

At 1000 yds, when the sights are dead on, the bullet trajectory goes up to 19 1/2 feet while describing an arc that is more steep at the far end. Assuming a muzzle velocity of 26 hundred fps.
