[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 74059, member: 1522"] Meichele, Your topic is very good and one that got me a couple of years back when I started using my Krestel 4000 handheld weather meter with my RSI Ballistic Lab program. I was plugging in absolute BP numbers from the krestel and still keeping the altitude field populated. My results were wacky. A quick call to Jim Ristow at RSI and he set me straight. I think this is something a lot of shooters do who use b-programs to help with long distance shooting. It's everyone's understanding that they need to populate all fields in their b-programs with most accurate field conditions they can provide. Sometimes, that's not always the case as in your example. If your using a weather station or hand held weather station and you know your exact BP, then you need to leave the Altitude at zero. Great topic and thanks for sharing this one. [/QUOTE]
