[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 2617660, member: 9551"] One time I was shooting .17 Remington at 300 yards on an overcast day at Upper Nisqually range. Using a target camera, I shot and could not account for a bullet. Since I was the only fool there, I walked out to the target, still no Idea why I missed the target. On the way out I felt a few drops. I decided to pull the camera and target stand and got soaked on the walk back.. I like to shoot under overcast (formerly normal Westside Washington climate) because it eliminates mirage and barrels cool faster. Local winds are driven by energy from the sun and funneled by the mountainous topography. With .22 BR shooting 77 and 80gr bullets, (7 Twist), I can report expanding groups and unaccounted for bullets at the back of our range 540 yards that I attribute to raindrops. [/QUOTE]
