[QUOTE="Pointman, post: 2617729, member: 102254"] Haven't shot in the rain. That being said, I purchased a rifle for my recoil-shy wife to shoot when I went to the range. It was a Remington 700 BDL in .17 Remington. On the 1st outing, we could not see any hole in the target with the spotting scope. During the cease-fire, we checked the target and found a lot of minor tears in the paper. She was using factory ammo and the range master postulated that perhaps the heavy air was causing the bullets to explode in flight. Never could visually see it from the bench. I do know that the tiny 25gr projectile doesn't "buck brush". On a varmint shoot, I took a shot at a ground squirrel at about 50 yards, and no impact. Checking through the scope I could see some grass way. I do know, that when it did connect. it did more damage than any other round I was using. Recoil is virtually 0 but it is a pain to load for, the tiny bullet doesn't like my sausage fingers. [/QUOTE]
