[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 1221254, member: 1007"] Maybe you should be the first! This could definately become a heated discussion. I really don't have the time, patience or energy to waste on who's right or who's wrong. At this point in my life I'm satisfied that I took the time, patience, energy and money to verify my loads at different altitudes as well as hot and cold temperatures which is what any responsible long range hunter should be doing anyway instead of arguing about it. If one has questions about this topic, the best thing to to is get out there and test it for yourself. You don't need to publish a paper or have an engineering degree. If you can load ammo consistently and read a chronograph, you can find the results for your personal rifle ammo combo. While it would be wonderful to know exactly why and the science behind it, the reality is, we just need to know what our ammo is doing where we are hunting. Nothing more. Nothing less. Paul, have you tested your ammo at different altitudes? Just a question. Not an attack. [/QUOTE]
