Your smoking crack ... or not A scopes cross hairs vertically get set over bore center line, Gravity has the pellet fall vertically and if guns shot level the pellet falls along the vertical line of scopes reticle.Tilt the scope ( change CANT ) you move the cross hairs to the side of bores center line and gravity will still pull pellet down vertically but not along the lines of the reticals vertical line but to one side or the other.If we were shooting LASERS then the intersect of optics and POI of the flat & straight laser light at a given range would not change with cant !! .... Gravity however skews the pellets flight and soon as cross hairs move out of the vertical plane with bore shots will go sideways .... FACT !
. But for sure, cant will not come into play if shooting at only one distance.
How do I check the scope/bore alignment?I've checked the scope and it does appear to be aligned according to a level sighted at my shooting distance.
