[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 1163576, member: 10391"] In QuickLoad you can sight in at 1500' elevation with that atmosphere data then retain that info for the 100 yard zero. Then you can generate a drop chart with different atmosphere data let's say at 8000' using the sight-in data for the zero and the other data for distance. It adjust for the difference. I hope you get what I'm trying to get across? The zero is critical for an accurate drop chart especially if you have not proven it on a hunting trip at altitude. If you take a rifle zeroed at 100 yrds at 1500 feet to 8000 feet it is no longer zeroed at 100 yards. Not off much but its off. Seems there are other ballistic programs that do that same thing just can't recall. [/QUOTE]
