[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 1795514, member: 85874"] I watched the Guns and Ammo show twice to see it in more detail. I feel like they did not conclusively convince me that their test was valid. While the high speed video shows the tip of the bullet to yaw and I believe that their calculations as to the angle of yaw may be correct. The bullet is spinning around its axis and was disrupted. Their ability to capture the bullet in flight is so limited to such a small distance as to be insignificant. A better test would have been had he actually shot at a target at 100 yds with a before and after shot with rain and without. I have set targets for registered BR matches and I can tell you that in a down pour no one was missing the target and most groups were close to dry conditions. Some shooters think that the lack of accuracy came from not being able to see the target as clearly as when it was not raining. Maybe they will retest and use a down range target to validate their results other wise I am not convinced that you would miss the target by over 2 feet at 100 yds. If this were the case I think we would have all experienced this phenomena while hunting in the rain. Which most of us have done many times. Understand I am not saying there is no effect on the bullet flight. I am saying that if it was as sever as their one example most of us would have experienced it in our life time of shooting and hunting. Henry [/QUOTE]
