This has been a labor of love!
The projectile has similar forces acting on it as your car does going up a hill without the gas peddle being pressed.
So when traveling up hill it takes longer to arrive. This additional time translates into more time for gravity to work on the pellet.
The inverse is true for down hill… taking less time to arrive on target.
But other factors are at play including velocity, distance, angle, wind, and the ballistic coefficient of your projectile. In short; go shoot some tin cans and “know your gun”.
