I get the theory but putting it practice is another matter. You allow the drop based on horizontal distance only (the distance that Gravity is acting on the bullet). Not on the total distance the bullet travels.
Think I need to set up some targets to practice.
Yeah it's a hard one to work out alright, if I think I need to aim low I make sure the X-hairs are still on the target (Ie I don't aim lower than the animal I'm wanting to shoot) that way I hope if I get it wrong I still hit the target so to speak.
I had this trouble when I first go the 204 and was shooting from the top of a hill down into a gully at a rabbit warren, first shot went over quite a bit so I had to actually aim at their front feet to ensure I was close to hitting them but once I worked out where I needed to aim it was all over for em - the shots ranged from 220m out to 255m from memory - I couldn't tell you want angle it was other than the hill was steep and you wouldn't get a 4wd up it from the direction I was shooting.
I would definitely set up some gongs or similar at diff distances and see how you go
