I cant believe they didn't ask for my ID!I think shivering in a cold rain would effect the shooter more than the bullet. I do not think rain changes bullet path enough to matter. I did like to vote knowing it was not along party lines.
That's the difference between academic and practical discussion.How can anyone say that all rain our anything else has no effect on point of impact. I know for a fact everything has some effect on the point of impact even ever so slight. Hell if I have gas from from the dinner last night it has an effect!
but I did have my ammo in a pack, dry... and I did have a jacket over my rifle action. No water was getting into the chamber or on my ammo. I consider that to be a very big thing to control if possible. The bullets flight was very predictable out to beyond 1000yds in the rain... but it can't be raining very heavy to see targets at 1000.
You get water in that chamber however, and it can drastically affect how the rifle shoots. At that point it is just a game of how forgiving your rifle is and how forgiving a node you're working with.
In really drown-a-monkey serious torrential downpours, keep shooting, no discernible change in DRT terminal performance, distinguishable bullet flight. But, no precise group measurements; minute-of-gook good to go. IMHO. YMMV.Technically, I'm sure that rain hitting a bullet in flight does effect bullet flight. And presumably each bullet fired in the rain would hit rain drops in different ways. However, I have tested this myself over the years and found no noticeable effect on impact. I normally shoot at 400yds and had groups on paper before the rain started and continued to shoot as the rain picked up. I was surprised to see that there were no changes when firing in the rain.
I assume that if you were shooting in a complete deluge that the change in impact would be apparent, but I just wouldn't be shooting targets or game animals in such conditions.
