[QUOTE="Gobbler256, post: 2702349, member: 88861"] You should use what you can shoot the best!! As for higher altitude your bullets trajectory will be slightly higher than in Texas. The thinner air results in less drag so your drop will be less at given ranges but probably not enough to get overly concerned about. You could input you data into the Hornady ballistic calculator for your current elevation and again for the altitude you’ll be hunting and see the difference at impact ranges. I live in GA at 1200 ft and hunt at 8000-9000 in Colo all I do is aim 2-3 inches lower. [/QUOTE]
