2. What is the equation or some devices which I type in the angle and other data of course to provide a solution to shoot at that angle?

2) COS of the angle times the distance to the target equal the distance to set scope to.

1) Yescorrect, theres a thing called a cosine angle indicator. they are expensive, I use an app on my phone with a level and set it on my barrel or scope and it gets me close.
2) COS of the angle times the distance to the target equal the distance to set scope to.
if you have a smartphone there are ballistic apps to calculate your correction (strelok and shooter and more) that do it all. lots of online websites to play with also.
cosine is the ratio of the horizontal distance to the distance (line of sight) to the target. a percentage of the line of sight distance that is used for the "shoot to" distance which is always shorter than the line of sight dinstance. the steeper you look the smaller the cosine. so the shorter "shoot to"
distance is used.

Shooting beyond 700 yards with significant elevation changes such as High Buck conditions..ya want one...
if your rich, buy the CAI that also has a built in anti-cant buble...the nice set ups are 350$ used
I run both (two separate devices) on my grand gun (LRH)

You could also just buy a rangefinder that calculates the angle and tells you the true ballistic range.
I bought a pair of Leica HD-Bs last week to try out. They've got a bunch of cool features, including this one.

:yeah: I just bought the Leica 1600b and it tells you line of sight yardage and shoot to yardage. I believe there's 7 different charts that you can choose from , just have to find the chart that matches your gun.
