My elk hunting trips take me to 8,000-10,000' from my home base of a whopping 600'.
Last year on my way to Gunnison, we stopped by NRA Whittington Range (elev approx 6,000') to re-zero at higher elevations and practice some beyond the 200 yard limit of my range. I didn't clean the guns until after the end of the hunt.
It really is cold bore vs. clean bore, and that's the process I would use, but hunting that high up is work! Why not find a place where you can hunt where there is actually still oxygen in the air?
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
