When using Bryan Litz JBM trajectory software should I check the corrected or absolute pressure box when using US weather service data?

It makes a huge difference at 1000 yards (3 MOA).

Published data is typically corrected. You are generally only going to get absolute pressure from your own barometer, or device containing a pressure sensor like a Garmin GPS, Kestrel, or Samsung phone (Suck it, Apple)).

And when using corrected pressure you need to input accurate elevation.

Thanks airsix.

I usually enter data from weather service before I go to range.  humidity, pressure, expected temperature (I look at hourly weather), and I know elevation already.

I have been doing this and getting pretty reliable come ups.

But I have not un-checked the corrected box when I entered that data.

Is that how you would do it?
