Thread: Leupold CDS

So when it comes to altitude, for the CDS system, taking into account we hunt anywhere from sea level to 1500+ mtrs . How critical is the altitude we go for in the cds?
Eg most of my hunting would be around 500mtrs, but in fiordland you can easily go from waters edge sea level to the tops.
Any suggestions?

Go to your ballistic app and vary it. I personally just use MOA and a drop chart/ballistics app. For my drop charts I set the all for 1200m altitude as thats where 90% of my hunting is

You can set the 'pressure to absolute' then just enter known pressure.
