[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1795110, member: 30902"] I've seen and participated in many discussions on the subject of shooting in the rain before. We always get a lot of "expert" commentary declaring that the shock wave pushes the rain out of the way and bullet never contacts it so rain doesn't affect it. That had been the standard thinking for at least several decades On the flip side, many of us with a good bit of experience shooting in the rain have seen measurable effects on bullets including some super high speed small bullets breaking up in the rain. Just saw a bit on the Guns and Ammo show on ODTV on the subject. They had one of the eggheads from NM Tech on discussing it and showed super high speed video taken of a .308 bullet in flight not only striking the rain drops but showed that even after contact there was a continued affect disrupting the shock wave. Their experiments also showed up to a 2' deviation in POI at 100 yds shooting in the rain. Good info and something to consider when hunting in the rain. [/QUOTE]
