[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2214680, member: 3230"] Well, I just went to JBM and calculated the difference at 1000 yards using a 300 Berger at 2830 - going from 2750 to 8750 results in 1.8 MOA less elevation. At 715, the difference is .8 MOA less. If we keep elevation the same but go from 50 deg to 100 degrees, the figures are: 715: .3 MOA less 1000: .6 MOA less My experience matches JBM - elevation is far more important than temperature. But the SIG 2400ABS and BR7 account for both, assuming you don't leave them out in the sun to overheat - I have seen that cause weird results at 1400 in AZ. I assume you are using something with a lower BC than a 300 Berger; environmental changes change the BC, and the farther you are out on the BC curve, the less you are affected by changes in elevation and temp.
