Calibre and bullet shape all affect the ballistic coefficient which you use to work out the elevation based on range, muzzle velocity etc.

ammo temp yup, powder burns quite a lot slower at colder temps. Can be up to a few 100 feet per second difference!

whether or not you're likely to be shot at whilst taking aim? i'd say that's a very important consideration

I know why it takes 25seconds for the experianced guys.
they know its quicker to shoot tracers and adjust than it is to get out ya calc pad and pen and work out all the other crap.

that doesn't really work as tracers are lighter than normal bullets (I think they put 1 tracer in every 3 rounds), probably only work in the dark and the target will have taken cover by the time you adjust.
