[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 87226, member: 8"] Leonard I think that people like JB who shoot rain or shine at known distances with the same gun would pretty much notice it if there was much of a noticeable affect from rain. For people like you and me, we are mostly just cold and miserable with a wet scope and wet glasses and stiff muscles. The only thing worse than hunting in the rain is killing something in the rain. There is one thing that has come up that I did not know about hunting in the rain until somebody got to talking about oil in the chamber and bolt thrust. Water is a very good lubricant like a fine oil. Water on a cartridge case once chambered would be like shooting with an oily chamber. Lots of bolt thrust and high pressures and who knows where the bullet would go. Keep your powder dry! P.S. I have never killed a coyote but I enjoy visting your forum because y'all have good jokes. I especially enjoyed the one about how many coyote hunters are divorced [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
