[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2576886, member: 94556"] For actual trajectory calculation I use the actual station pressure measured by Kestrel device at 0 altitude. That way there is no correction necessary because it is the actual pressure you are shooting in. If you want to estimate what a bullet might do at an anticipated altitude then use the corrected pressure function at 1 atm pressure (29.92 mmHg) at that altitude. The trajectory app will correct the pressure at the anticipated altitude. Remember though that this trajectory is only an estimate. [/QUOTE]
