Are you still using the ar-comp load? How is that comparing vs your BLC-2 load? A lot of guys seem to default to 8208-XBR.
grendel at 1518 yds - PredatorDown - 02-21-2016
I'm currently using the AR-Comp load, but will probably switch back to my BLC2 load soon once it warms up a little more. I've got 25#s of the BLC2 that needs to be used up, unless I decide to sell it. I'll save my 20#s of Comp until it's colder again or I run out of the other

PD-
DA = Density Altitude or whatever your atmospherics were for the day...
grendel at 1518 yds - PredatorDown - 02-23-2016
I'm honestly not sure. Altitude is right around 6000' and it was below freezing all day, but I don't recall the pressure

It's difficult to find any elevation near where I'm at lower than 4400ft elevation.
We'll be at 6,600 ft at many of the places I shoot. Hunting area for elk is 9,200 ft.

Yeah, and we'd feel like we were drowning in the humidity down there where you shoot!
grendel at 1518 yds - A5BLASTER - 02-24-2016
Awww come on the humidity aint that bad down here, the skeeters keeping a good breeze blowing on you is all you need to stay cool lmao.

Yeah we're a little spoiled with the long range shooting around here
I typically shoot anywhere from 3500-4500' ASL, but I also shoot above 6000' quite often. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes. Probably the single best day of shooting I had was a few years ago at around 4300', but it was right after (like 20 minutes after...we had to wait out the storm) a violent thunderstorm blew through the area. Pressure was really low, absolutely no wind at any of the flags between 100 and 1000 yards...the absolute perfect day. That's the day I printed my 3.5" 3shot group at 960 yards with the Grendel
