[QUOTE="Hoppsing55, post: 1596645, member: 91210"] For example: Assuming a 200 yd zero with a 168gr .461 bc projectile leaving the muzzle at 2550fps, the drop differential at 500 yds / 4000 ft of elevation vs 8000 ft of elevation = 2.7". You may have time to check over multiple dope sheets,,, and maybe not,,, but I wouldn't want to burden myself with that mental exercise when the shot opportunity presents itself, for 1.35". You might consider keeping it simple and picking a mid range (6000ft) dope sheet calc and keep more focus on making the shot. Your ballistic's, rifle - setup, wind,,,, and other variables will all come into play. JMHO. [/QUOTE]
