[QUOTE="KsKevin, post: 2628053, member: 116689"] Ran this for one of my loads (7mm Berger 168g VLD) and just altitude change from 1500’ to 9000’ resulted in 5” less drop. I’m guessing yiur 180g Nosler May be affected just a bit more as the BC isn’t as high. I’d suggest using a ballistics calculator to account for all the proper inputs (elev, temp, angle, etc) if/when you have a longer shot. Tape a drop chart on your stock if you want a quick and dirty reference if pressed for time on anything inside 300-400yds. [/QUOTE]
