[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1281454, member: 4191"] Don't play in the rain enough to carefully document anything, and I suspect the same for most other prospective "researchers". I'm currently testing changes in POI with 5 different rifles over time, and in variable temperatures. I take 5 rifles out with one round for each rifle. Set up the triplicate chronographs and shoot each rifle once at 300 yards while recording MV. So far I couldn't begin to answer that question in dry conditions, other than all five rifles display distinguishable POI change over time. Some of it is likely due to variable temps. Some of it may simply be the nature of the beast. And some of it could be that my rifles have light enough contour barrels that I'm willing to haul them around while backpack hunting. I have no plans to test wet barrels. What I learned so far is the value of confirming POI in the field at the hunting grounds just prior to hunting, if one intends to hit game at long distances.
