This video demonstrates the significant impact of elevation changes on 5.56mm ballistics out to 800 yards. The presenter, with assistance from Frank G. of SnipersHide, shows how moving from sea level (350 ft) to high altitude (4,800 ft) affects bullet trajectory and required adjustments. By using a Kestrel to calculate density altitude, they illustrate how less atmospheric resistance at higher elevations leads to more efficient bullet flight, requiring less elevation adjustment for long-range shots.
