[QUOTE="Warren Jensen, post: 347, member: 21"] Len, There is no easy answer to your question and there is also no easy experiment to determine the answer. In my experience and testing I have found that the temperature of a "cold, wet barrel" has more effect than the moisture. There is a point where the moisture will become significant. Moisture in the bore near the muzzle seems to have little effect. Moisture close to the chamber can be dangerous. Different barrels seem to tolerate moisture, with little point of impact change, better than others. If it is raining heavily then I use a piece of electricians tape over the muzzle. I have also used one of those small "rubbers". The air blast in front of the bullet will blow this off. If you use this method you have to take the tape or rubber off about once a day for several hours or run a patch down the bore, as condensate will build up rapidly inside. I would be very interested in your experiments. [ 07-31-2001: Message edited by: Warren Jensen ] [/QUOTE]
