I live in North Alabama at 750ft and every time I go west to hunt I experience a change in my impact. Of course everyone knows it will vary from rifle to rifle based on ballistic data but so far here's what I have experienced with the 7mm rem mag and 257 wby. Each time I have experienced my bullet being three inches left and four inches higher at 200yd zero. Elevation has varied from 7,000 to 12,00 ft above sea level. Everyone I have traveled and hunted with out west that has been from my area experiences the same change in impact. I can say that on every hunt we have take out west we all have shot a rifle's chambered in the same caliber incase someone has a problem with ammo or a rifle. That way everyone is familiar with that calibers basic preformance and if you have to shoot someone elses gun you are that much more familiar with its limitations and capabilities. Are you hunting Colorado?
