[QUOTE="Schnyd112, post: 1465609, member: 90453"] My best score at one of our steel matches was on a rainy day. The rain makes it easier to read the wind and from what we saw really didn’t have any effect on bullet flight. All my dopes were the same from 300-850. I shot a 36/40 and think I missed 3 of the last 10. You do have to be careful to not get your ammo wet, that can cause pressure problems. It was discussed here before, I think the answer was it keeps the brass from sticking to the chamber so all the force is exerted back on the bolt. And liquids don’t compress so even a little water can coat the chamber. Like said above, rain will blow up little bullets going really fast. My dad has a 17/223 that you cant shoot in the rain, or tall grass for that matter. If that little bullet hits anything it vaporizes. [/QUOTE]
