[QUOTE="philny1, post: 145942, member: 7121"] [ QUOTE ] Kevin, What part of LA are you in? You elevation change results is as it should be. That 1"/click is a bit of a bummer. If it is 1" @100 that would make it 10" @ 1K and 7" @ 700. Usually when going hunting from say low elevation (LA) to a high elevation (CO) the first thing done is to check zero at a decent distance. From that you can adjust the drop chart for that elevation. I'd make a new drop chart for the higher elevation. If you go there often it would be great practice. If you go from high elevation to low elevation then you had best have worked up a load at a reduced powder charge. The boys in TX are running a few grains lower to get the same velocities as we in Idaho due to pressure. Plus the bullet BC is a bit lower down there. Just some tho'ts. [/ QUOTE ] Roy I have the same problem. All my loads are developed at 2500 ft. So far the camps I hunted out of expect you to show up with a rifle sighted in and offer no place to shoot once there. In the past I've hunted with a at home drop chart with sucess. But now my shots have been at longer range. Should I use one of the ballistic programs and just put in the difference in elevation. If the program agrees with my at home chart, with 2500 ft elevation. At least that's my plan. Should it work????? [/QUOTE]
