Note: Use of this table for estimating bullet masses for historical large-bore rifles is limited, as this table assumes the use of round ball, rather than conical bullets; for example, a typical 4-bore rifle from circa 1880 used a 2,000-grain (4.57 oz; 129.60 g) bullet, or sometimes slightly heavier, rather than using a 4-ounce (110 g) round ...

If the rifleman wishes to adjust his rifle to strike a target at a distance instead of along an incline, he needs to adjust the bore angle of his rifle so that the bullet will strike the target at . This requires adjusting the rifle to a horizontal zero distance setting of R Z e r o = R H cos ( α ) {\displaystyle R_{Zero}=R_{H}\cos(\alpha )} .
For example on an AR-type rifle, the mil-spec distance from center of bore to top of rail is 1.211 inches, or approximately 31 mm (1.2 in). The mount height itself, that is the distance from the top of rail to center of scope, varies, but typically lies around 36–38 mm (1.4–1.5 in) (higher and lower mounts are also readily available).
