If it made a huge difference I dont think anyone west of the cascades would ever hit a deer with a rifle :chuckle:

I met a guy shooting the other day that said that one of the guns was shooting off a bit because it was sunnier that day than the day the gun was sighted in. :chuckle: It as a .308win at 60 yards hitting 6 inches off the bullseye.:yike:Damn that sun. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

go up the road, drink another one and smoke some grass, go back look for the deer, dont get out of the truck, if ya cant see it from the road ya musta missed. head for the mini mart for more beer. oh yeah reload. roll yer window up if it is raining.

The key is dont slow down, see the deer, get the gun, dont spill yer beer. stick the gun out the window and start shooting towards the deeer.

I believe light bullets like 17HMR can get pushed around alot from a raindrop.

This picture clearly shows why the Barnes TSX is such a sketchy bullet when you get it out past about 400 yards. That's only a cannelure grove causeing the second drag wave... imagine what 3, 4, or 5 deep groves would look like!
You can also see the difference a boattail makes by comparing the turbulence behind the base of each bullet in flight... not hard to see why boattails are so much more ballitically efficient.
Cool pics... thanks for sharing. The picture of the boattail bullet has been the screen saver on my phone for about a year now... nothing cooler than bullets in flight.
