What do you do to verify your dopes after extreme changes in elevation. I would like to do some longrange hunting out west. I live in Florida at 200 ft above sea level. I use moa for adjustments. I have read some on air density, elevation and temperature effects. Do you trust your ballistics program for adjustments. Concerned!!! Your thoughts and ideas are appreciated
 
Absolutely. If you do your inputs correctly it should be dead on. I shoot from 2500 feet to 10000, temps from 0 to 90. I have had excellent results with good solid data in the computer.

Re-zero the rifle at the site and you could do a DOPE shot to confirm drop. If I am concerned I shoot my zero then to 600 or 700 yards and confirm drop. Input in the computer is critical, as I am sure you know. Get that data correct and you should be good to go.
