[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 513660, member: 21068"] Not a guess, but right out of the ballistic program. Assuming 100 zero and standard atmosphere at both elevations, input the temp at both elevations, used 92 and 12. The program gave 71.4" low and 11.25 moa at home The program gave 64.6" low and 10.25 moa on the mountain. If it were me, I'd still want to confirm a 100yd zero on the mountain and try a rock or something at 600 using the computer generated 10.25 moa holdover just to make sure. With your reticle, I believe you could use the full 16X for 600yds when on the mountain (if I did the math correctly). I am reverse calculating the 600 yd line is 10.5 moa low when on 16X...?? This is purely hypothetical and based on math and ballistic program. I've personally never went from one such extreme to another and shot, so I don't have any real world info for that. I have seen zero's change just in a few thousand feet of elevation though. I be thinking the extreme change in temps would also have an effect on velocity, maybe a small one, but I would expect it nonetheless. [/QUOTE]
