[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 572493, member: 30902"] I misread your initial post when I replied the other night and got some things twisted around. I Read "Five inches low" not 5 feet HA!. There are still just a heck of a lot of variables here which can cause such a low miss but... . Are you sure you dialed up the proper MOA? It is highly possible as someone else suggested that you got an errant range reading or possibly even misread it. Since you were consistently low, it's less likely to be mechanical error. The variation in altitutde, temp, humidity is just not enough to affect the bullet that much, but depending on what powder you were using if it was dramatically colder that could certainly affect your drop. Also I said something backwards, that's what I get for reading and typing when I'm half awake. Greater humidity will not reduce velocity, it has the opposite effect until you get to the point of actual precip. [/QUOTE]
