[QUOTE="EdG61, post: 2518583, member: 60699"] Not hunting, but "full bore target rifle" shooting. I am a "B grade" competitor. Some years back I managed to shoot 47/50 and 48/50 at 900 yards on a day of steady, quite heavy rain. Rainfall for the day was just on 2 inches. None of the 70 (or more?) competitors reported any issues with other than the task of keeping ammo and chambers dry. If it were a thing, one would expect that at least one of the 1400 + bullets sent downrange should have collided with a raindrop? Yes, there were fliers, but no more than the previous day's shooting at the 600 and 700 yard ranges, and all were nominated as fliers by the shooter, so no mysterious deflections from rogue raindrops ....
