[QUOTE="FlyGuy11, post: 1796525, member: 108987"] I didn't have time to read the entire post but what I did; wow you guys are over thinking it. Density Altitude is what the ballistic apps are accounting for which is simply a correction of non-standard temperature and barometric pressure. Without getting too deep in the weeds YES will cause a significant change in your ballistics. As will all long range shooting the longer the range the greater the effect. Also the longer you go the more factors come into play such as wind and coriolis effect. Short Version: Use the apps with a weather device for the most accurate data. If you would like a no kidding long version of understanding Density Altitude please let me know. [/QUOTE]
