[QUOTE="britz, post: 190282, member: 7865"] I had often wondered that question too for when I go away on a hunt. I just used JBM calculations and set the zero range at 1 yard and the elevation of 2100 feet. At 200 yards the impact was at 290.2 inches high. When I changed the elevation to 8000 feet, the impact at 200 was 290.3" high (.1" difference). I used 200 yards because that is what I generally sight in my rifle for and adjust from there. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but acording to that, you should be able to make a new drop chart using your same Zero but different elevations (you could compensate slightly by imputing the .1" differnce in the sighted in range however).
