Your bullet will drop a little less in both up or downhiill shots the same. So if your shooting 6" high at a 100 yards, you may shoot 12" high. Depends on how steep a shot.

Ridgetop, you've got it right that the bullet will drop less, therefore you don't aim higher. You aim lower. Keep in mind that if the angle is less than about 40 degrees and the distance is less than about 200 yards it won't affect your bullet that much.
