[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 2240040, member: 38154"] If the velocity changes with elevation from sea level to 8000 feet (with everything else remaining constant), how can you determine if you have the right dope without shooting the rifle over a chronograph at the given altitude? All data at the higher altitude (temp, wind, etc etc) can be obtained with your hand held electronics, but what do you do about muzzle velocity change due to change in elevation?? Is it insignificant and nothing to worry about? Best confirmation can be to dust a rock across a canyon, but that option is not always possible, and I'm not sure how many bring a chrono to hunting camp to check the velocity at the higher elevation. Is velocity change due to change in elevation a factor you need to consider?? [/QUOTE]
