    I have been shooting in Ga for the past few years, and I am moving to Co. Question I have is should I redo my load development for the change in in elevation?
     
    Probably not.

    External ballistics (what happens after the bullet leaves the muzzle) will change (affecting comeups at distances); but internal ballistics (what happens only inside the bore) almost certainly will not (at least not enough to present a dominant, or maybe even noticeable difference).

    "Trust..., but also verify".

    +1 what Greg said. Your load should still be fine...you will just have to adjust for the change in altitude (less dense in CO, so will likely require less MOAs or Mils).
