[QUOTE="backcountryguide, post: 824958, member: 38531"] At the end of the manual for the Kestrel 2500 it says if you wish to know the actual or station pressure for your location simply set he reference altitude to 0. In this case the Kestrel meter will not make any adjustments and will display the measured value. Ballistics software refer to atmospheric or station pressure as absolute pressure. These applications are concerned with the actual air density as opposed to pressure gradients relating to weather, so barometric pressure is less useful. this is how my Kestrel is set up. The bullet only cares about the absolute pressure it travels through as I understand it. That is unless all my rodeos are screwed up like you said. Someone please correct me if I am wrong on this.
