[QUOTE="Quicksilver338, post: 1696483, member: 108268"] Elevation won’t change your zero enough to notice. Other stuff happens, which is why I agree with you to always double check your zero after traveling. To go from a zero at sea level to 10,000ft and 24” of barometric pressure and your zero shifts by .02”. Yes this is based on the ballistic calculator and 100yd zero. But at that distance not much changes, downrange everything is magnified as this equates a 8” change of vertical drop at 500 yards from an average 6.5 creedmoor, but that’s from the elevation and lower pressure more so than the .02” zero shift. I doubt anybody here is good enough to shoot that .02” change in their zero nor their rifles capable of it. It’s best to be trained to use your calculator correctly and to practice and know your abilities in different situations downrange. [/QUOTE]
