[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 12402, member: 10"] Len, I would say that a small amount of water would not make a huge difference at common hunting ranges. That said, if you are stretching things out past 500 yards, I would expect some change in impact. Most of the serious hunters in my area of Montana will put a small piece of electrical tape over the bore to keep any moisture out of the bore in the rain. At the shot, the air trapped in front of the bullet will blow the tape off before the bullet reaches the muzzle. I have heard this is a common practice in Canada and Alaska as well in wet climates. Good Luck here in Montana! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
