POI change from sea level to 5500 ft.

[AWS]

I'm here in western Wa and sight my rifles in at near sea level and am heading for a hunt that is at a minimum of 5000 ft.  What kind of elevation change in POI can I expect.  58gr bullet at 3400 fps

Thanks

Don't know you BC but ruff figure from sea level to 5k would be probably 4-6" difference at 500yards. So not much at the closer ranges.

Roughly an inch per 1000' in elevation gain.

Roughly an inch per 1000' in elevation gain.

At what distance?

 I use this to figure out trajectory.

Roughly an inch per 1000' in elevation gain.

Higher at 5500', or lower?  Guessing higher.

There are several free apps available. You punch in the data and it will give you your dopes. BallisticsArc is the free one I like to use. Shooter is probably the best one out there but costs 10 or 15 bucks.

Would need to know bc, bullet weight,  and muzzle velocity to answer your question.

I have an IPhone app called bullet drop, which adjusts for altitude. You simply enter the ballistics, the altitude, temperature and humidity and it gives you your adjustments for different yardages. It works well.

I have the same app, works well and is fun to play with.

Vortex Optics has a good ballistic calculator and it's free.
