Long-Range Caliber, How to Choose the Best for You

Interesting information. I never thought much about elevation effecting FPS but it makes sense. I live at 3000 feet and practice at the elevation. However, where I go hunting is around 9000 feet elevation. Since most of my shots are less than 200 yards, it hasn't been an issue yet. But its something to consider for future.

Thank you for the informative post.

Not a major issue for me. I used to shoot a 30-06, it was my deer rifle. I really only used it out to about 150 yds. I finally sold it and purchased a bolt action 223 /5.56. My range has a 100 yd indoor range, unless I head up to my farmland in NC that is about the max distance i shoot. If i ever was to find an area I could safely shoot longer distances, then I would take the information above into consideration.
