    Hey guys I'm at 880' ASL where i'm located. I'm heading out to the mountains next week. I know that i'll be in that 8,000 to 10,000' ASL. I know that DA will affect my bullet drop but will it affect my muzzle velocity or muzzle pressure. I'm sitting close to max right now and I don't want to run into any issues with any more pressure.

    Thanks,
    Deano
     
    Not really as the powder has the oxygen necessary for it to burn mixed into the powder itself and it should be air tight once loaded, the temp may have some bearing going from hot down low to cold in the higher elevations.

    You should lose pressure, I would definitely chrono and rezero if necessary.
