A pain in the neck
I can shoot half inch groups at 200 yards with my Rellum day in day out AND it's a .22Try halfing that drop, or even less! If you read it properly it's a 15.9 grain jsb exact travelling at 950 fps.
AND it shoots pellets through 5 dustbin lids at 300 yards

Really!I can shoot half inch groups at 200 yards with my Rellum day in day out AND it's a .22

So if cubleycat can shoot coke cans at over 200 yards with a sub 12 ft/lb .177, then why is it so impossible to believe someone shooting a 0.8 inch group at 134 yards with 32 ft/lb?
Yes it would be hard to repeat, but it's do able.

My version of Chairgun says the drop from horizontal (JSB Exact/.22/16gn/950fps) at 134 yards is 53".
Maybe its wrong? I've always found it to give accurate predictions.

for my setup its 35 inch approx.
134 yards 953fps
zeroed at 30 yards
0.032 bc for that range

That would be the drop below your zero (of 30 yards), or the amount of holdover required, same thing.
The pellet drop would be 53"'.

ahh yes i see now you said from the muzzle, normally you would state the hold over from your zero though, instead of from the muzzle.

Except that nowhere does the OP state his zero range and the question was how much would the pellet drop?.
30 yards is a close zero to be using with a 32fpe gun, each to their own, but it would reduce the amount of holdover required by using a more distant zero. Ideally use a zero for the range being shot over.

alot of people say that but it does not mean they are right.
32ft/lb is excellent shooting at 30 yards.
30 yards zero means you can also benefit from shooting as if your rifle is 12ft/ib. my setup allows me to back my scope mag back to say 4 6 times mag at close range. sometimes the rabbits are only 30 yards away if your not zeroed at close range you have to start calculation for hold over. 32ft/lb is not that much power when compared to rimmy or hmr. also allows for very clean kills at 30 yards with rabbits and magpie. if you shot is just off kill zone it usually comes out with a clean kill much better to have a clean kill.
in addition there is a sweet trajectory curve between 20 yards and 40 yards with my zero and the pellet does not rise above zero on its flight. 20-40y i just aim strait at the target pellet on pellet.
my set up is much easier to use and more effective.
also my mill dots extend to 9.5 mill and this is just where the pellet looses all power for a kill so no need to go past 9.5 mills down.
simple 30 yards zero, 9.5 mills 160yards.
you will find it much easier to use this way and make you setup more versitile.
no rezeroing for close range stuff.
also the art of shooting airgun at 12ft/lb is to develope stalking and camo skills. I can shoot close or long and increase my close clean kills at 30 yards with the extra power. but still practice shooting close up as with 12ft/lb style of shooting but if i need the extra range say 6070 yard shots, then all i do is look a few mills down.
obviously a fac airgun cannot do what a rimmy or hmr or shotgun can do and each type of gun has its own use and place. but my set up ticks alot of boxes. close range air gun and long range airgun. i have the longer range that lower power air guns do not. yet also longer range than a shotgun. also able to shoot into trees if its safe behind unlike rimmy or hmr. with zero at 30 yards, its simple, increases close range clean kills and also allows easy target
acquisition fo longer range shots without needing to re zero. at all ranges the poi is bellow the cross hair so its simpiler than taking into account above and bellow corss hair.
ALSO THE SHOTS ARE VERY CHEAP. 2p per pellet, and half a pence for air. shotgun and rimmy is expensive after you have shot a few thousand rounds. i must have shot over 5000 in my airwolf and i have not gone bankrupt yet.

for the benefit of 3 wheeler (its easy if you want from barrell just subtract 2 inches from what i stated before).
its 2 inches from my scope to my barrel so take 2 inches off the total drop if you want inches drop from muzzel to down range point of impact. Note 3 wheeler that this is my setup and others might be different from different barrels.

Total drop has nothing to do with scope position. It is purely a function of ballistics.
Holdover does. It is a function of ballistics and scope height and zero range.
