[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1602115, member: 94491"] I punched the numbers into the applied ballistics app and 900y is 1803fps with 1046 ft lbs-- 1000 is 1659/886 My strelok pro app uses my actual weather info at the time of sight in using my weather/wind meter, the applied ballistics app is not asking for altitude, but it does use air density of .07639 so it uses sea level as a default I threw some quick numbers into shooterscalculator.com for a 3rd reference point and at sea level 1000y- 20.67moa drop, 6.23 moa drift, 1686fps, 915 ft lbs At 6500msl- 1000y-- 18.44 drop, 4.77 drift, 1943 fps, 1215ft lbs Each calculator is slightly different but in short --YES-- altitude does make a difference-- I hunt from 6000 to 10050 and I use different charts for higher altitudes and check my zero when large changes in altitude happen Also, bullets have a higher stability factor at my altitude due to lower air density, etc [/QUOTE]
