Sea Level To Mile High! How Does The Change In Elevation Effect 5.56 Out To 800yards!
This video explores the ballistics of 5.56mm ammunition at distances up to 800 yards, specifically investigating how a change in elevation from sea level (357ft) to a mile high (4800ft) affects performance. The experiment is conducted by taking a competition rifle from South Carolina to Colorado without making any adjustments to the firearm system, highlighting the real-world impact of atmospheric conditions on projectile trajectory and performance. The content aims to provide practical insights for shooters operating in diverse environments.
