A .50 magnum has a muzzle velocity of about 420 meters per second (1480 feet per second). The time for a .50 caliber bullet to travel one mile at a constant speed of 1400feet per second is around four seconds. After four seconds, the bullet will have dropped around 256 feet.
In reality, the bullet is slowed down due to air resistance, and takes longer to travel one mile (thus it drops further). Also note that in theory, the caliber of the bullet does not determine how far it drops after traveling one mile. The muzzle velocity is the key parameter in determining this.

How much yards does a mile have?
A mile have 1760 yards.
How much does the horizon drop per mile on earth?
An object will fall 4.9 meters in the first second [d=0.5*g*t^2]. Orbital velocity is 7,700 m/s (both at sea level) [V=(g*m/R)^0.5]. By definition, at orbital velocity the earth falls away at the same rate as you travel. So, 7.7 kilometers from where you are standing the earth has 'dropped away' 4.9 meters. Re-calculating for 1 kilometer: d=0.5*9.8*(1/7.7)^2 = 0.08 meters.

How many miles is Krakatoa above sea level?
Not even a mile. The new island, Anak Krakatau extends about 860 feet above sea level. Rakata, a remnant of the original island, goes to about 2,400 feet above sea level which is still less than half a mile.
How much drop does a 22 caliber bullet have?
not much
How far does a pistol bullet go?
300 yards A pistol bullet can travel much further than 300 yards. On average, a pistol bullet can travel about a mile.
What is drop on a gun?
The BULLET drop is the pull of gravity on the bullet as it is shot, resulting in the bullet lowering in altitude over a long distance. This is what long-distance shooters have to account for on their scopes. Different types of bullets with different weights, sizes, and shapes, as well as the barrel length and rifling ratios, affect how much the drop will be.
How much is the bullet drop of a 338 Lapua Magnum?
Depends on muzzle velocity, projectile weight and distance.
How much will the bullet drop in2700 ft 150grain 30-6?
That depends on the type of bullet, the initial velocity, and the angle at which it is fired. A ballistics calculator is the best way to find the answer.
How much does a 30-30 bullet drop at 100 yards 200 yards 300 yards?
1.5 inches
How much does a bullet drop in one second?
16 feet. Just like anything else dropped on Earth.
How much will a 300 bullet drop at 500 yards?
That is going to vary based on what kind of "300" you are using, what the type and weight of the bullet is, what your initial velocity is, and at what distance you are sighted in for your far zero.
How much Will a 243 bullet drop at 300 yards?
Depends on the loading, and the zeroed range. An 80 grain bullet zeroed at 100 yards will be about 10.2 inches below the line of sight at 300.
How much does a338 lapua hornaday 285gr bullet drop 1000yds?
If zeroed at 100 yds, the bullet will drop ABOUT 275 inches below the line of sight at 1,000 yards. At that range, large number of variables including the muzzle velocity, air pressure, temperature and humidity.
How much does a 50 cal round drop at 1500 meters?
At 1500 yards a 661gr bullet out of a 29in barrel will drop 967in., out of a 20in. barrel it will drop 1207in. This is according to Barrett on there web page. You will have to convert to meters.
A hunter aims directly at a target on the same level 100 m away If the bullet leaves the gun at a speed of 200 ms by how much will it miss the target?
The bullet will drop due to gravity as it travels, causing it to miss the target. Using the kinematic equation (s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2) where (s = 100 m), (u = 200 ms^{-1}), and (a = -9.81 ms^{-2}) (acceleration due to gravity), you can calculate the time it takes for the bullet to reach the target. Once you have the time, you can use the equation (d = \frac{1}{2}at^2) to determine how much the bullet will drop vertically and hence how much it will miss the target.
