[QUOTE="jshepherd61, post: 2567133, member: 93960"] The correct answer is no and yes! Altitude in itself will not effect the ballistics, now weather which is a derivative of altitude does effect true ballistics. Humidity, temperature and dew point is a major factor on powder burn rates, bullet flight/drag. Being from Colorado and hunting above 10k for elk and having family on the Oregon coast and hunting Rosevelt elf at see level, I see drastic change in poi as much as 7” depending on humidity!
