[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 280867, member: 7848"] I believe you'll see the same muzzle velocity at any altitude. As you pointed out, the difference is how well the bullet retains it's velocity downrange. Higher altitudes = less dense air and better velocity retention but there's nothing about the barometric pressure that should affect muzzle velocity. -Bryan [/QUOTE]
