[QUOTE="WildernessBob, post: 2519707, member: 111062"] Many years ago, we were shooting 308s through a 30" barrel at 800 yards. We had a medium shower come over ahead of a big thunderstorm and the wind was blowing in at least two different directions. We were not shooting through the rain. We had a cease fire from the line officer. From our shooting position the dust was going left to right and halfway to the target it was going the other way. Before the cease fire order came, we were all off the targets we think by feet not inches, but we saw that the wind was the problem with our accuracy. I am convinced that when the 168gr. bullet traveling at 2800 fps hits multiple 4mm or 5 mm water drop falling at 30 fps must have an effect even if it causes a small deflection. [B]Newton's third law[/B] is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. [/QUOTE]
