I’ll argue that bullet drop isn’t a moot point in hunting situations. I’ve often caught an elk headed to a bedding area in the early morning or a nice buck cruising sniffing for does during the rut. Point being that animals aren’t always calmly feeding unawares and sometimes you need to take the shot when they pause for a moment or lose the opportunity as they move on through. With a flat shooting rifle and a decent guess for yardage you can make the shot before the chance is gone, the chance that you might burn trying to get a yardage with your RF instead of shooting.
Not always the case but a flat trajectory certainly isn’t a handicap.
