I suppose if we need to be more exact, specific bullets & weights, ballistic coefficients, and muzzle velocities need to be included, but the basic premise holds true.
What? Not according to any trajectory chart I have seen... look at the one I posted above...

At 250 yards with a 50 yard zero, the impact is about 2 inches low.

At 250 yards with a 100 yard zero, the impact is 6 inches low...

How is a 2 inch drop greater than a 6 inch drop? With a 50 yard zero, I don't even need to attempt a hold over to make that shot.
