I've got a sheep hunt planned for this coming fall and I don't want to be the guy that misses. Lol. My rifles are all sighted in at 800m elevation and where we'll be hunting is around 2200m elevation. Is a 1400m difference going to change my POI and if it does how much?

Thanks
 
Download a ballistic calculator that can calculate the differences for your ammo.

Quick search gave me about 5 MOA at 6600 feet, range 1000 yards.
20000 foot elevation and 300 yards gave me 2.5 inches difference.

For a "normal" range which would be max 300 yards, difference would be insignificant unless you are hunting groundhogs at 30000 foot elevation.
