[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 223197, member: 10391"] Just ran your load in Exbal and here is what comes up.At 200 yards the drop from the bore is 7.8 inches at sea level. At 8000 ft elevation the drop from the bore is 7.6 inches. There is .2 of an inch difference. In my opinion not enough to give a second thought for regular hunting out to 400 yards or so. If you shoot beyond that I would resight the rifle at alitude and have a drop chart made for the alitude that your hunting at. If nothing else the darn gun will shoot better the higher you get. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
