I agree a bullet doesn't climb but the angle between the cross hairs and bullet path make it look like it does. The closer zero under a 100 yds and higher the scope makes the angle sharper. The bullet hasn't dropped enough to meet the crosshair angle say with a 50 yd zero impacting at 100 yds. Giving the appearance of a climbing bullet and a missed coyote. I would zero 2" high at 100 and be a little low at 200. That was my arc. Now I zero at 100 and drop 1/4" at 200. My 18 inch 6.5 Creedmoor with 95 gr. Vmax was the worst.
