The speed and bullet weight/shape (ballistic coefficient) determines your trajectory.

Different cartridges will have different trajectories


7mm Win Mag 160g win XP3 ballistic silver tip. Maybe I failed to mention that I did sight my rifle in before at 100 yds 3" high and then shot it at 300 yds to a bullseye. When I was lending my rifle to a first time hunter to use, he dropped it in it's hard case on a carpeted floor. So when we went out I just wanted to make sure that it was still shooting straight. I have bumped the rifle before and never had an issue. It has been shooting great for me for years without any adjustments.
I hear what everyone is saying about testing it out at long range to be sure. Lots of great advice and I will check out those ballistic calculators to see if I am on track.
