Pretty much, yes. The bullet is on the rise when it hits 25 yards (this is because the barrel has to be raised due to the sight being substantially higher than the barrel). It continues higher to roughly 50 yards, reaching its peak at maybe an inch higher than you would be sighting it. Then it starts dropping to reach close to zero near 70-80 yards (depending on velocity profile). Then drops continuously, maybe 2-3" at 100 yards, much more further on.
