[QUOTE="dougw, post: 1280316, member: 27579"] The number I have is about 6" at 550 yards with 300 grain smk 338 edge I shot a bull elk a couple of years ago the range finder said 547 so I aimed at 550 and hit the 6" high that is when I started looking into what a high humidity or rain does to a bullet in flight. I think it is an accumulation of things temp, humidity when rifle was sited in, elevation and cleanliness of the air. In Utah we have high winds before and after rain storms the dirt in the air can be seen with the naked eye after the rain cleans the air you can see twice as far I think this has a lot to do with friction on the bullet.
