How much does a 7.62 drop at 950 yards?

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.

Try this web site to calculate bullet drop. Enter muzzle velocity and weight. It drops a lot more at that distance than a person thinks.
