High altitude shooting...

Jaysus. Just get into space a little and there are no come-ups at all... it's always 1.75" low...

Reminds me of a conversation I had with a guy on SnipersHide recently.

A guy was working up a new load for a 7mm rem mag with Berger 195 EOL hybrid, and he was doubtful he would be stable beyond 1600 - 1700 yards.

I was working up a load with the same cartridge / bullet combo at the same time, and I had calculated with JBM that showed I would be stable to 2000 yards.

I am at 7000', he was at 500' ASL. That'll do it. I can't even imagine 13,000 ASL.

Yes indeed... I went up there again when the snow hit... just to confirm.. only difference was windage (winds were blowing really hard), but elevation was pretty spot on.

I'm lost with this lingual... and I'm trying to understand.... but I will assume since I'm already an ass, lol!
That space (1.75 low on mils) is still mind blowin to me... I love to treat this hobby as a new thing every time I go out for personal reasons, lol!... but yes again, the rounds seem to fly faster and higher... I need to chrono my shit up there....

Just a little bit higher in outer space - no atomosphere, no gravity... no need for hearing protection. Your scope is about 1.75" over your bore.
