[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 71519, member: 2852"] [ QUOTE ] Nevermind -- i'm a ******* -- misread, i had my wires crossed [/ QUOTE ] No not at all! [ QUOTE ] You higher elevation is probably close to cancelling out the humidity difference. [/ QUOTE ] Even though your higher humidity does cause bullets to travel through less dense air, it is a very small difference (less than an inch at 1k with 10% humidity vs 90%), on the other hand, elevation makes a ton of difference in trajectory. My .223 shoots like my old 220 swift when I'm at 10,000 feet! I was just trying to say that it seems weird that bullet stabiliztion is harder to attain (it seems like) when the humidity is high, so there must be something about those water droplets in the air that makes a bullet fly higher impact but also seems to degrade it's ability to stabilize. And then again, maybe I'm misreading the elements at the range. Anyone have an indoor, air conditioned 1k range we can borrow? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
