Just asking
We shoot ARA 50 yard--early in the season I had several lots of Center X that were winning--when we crossed into the summer temps and Much higher humidity those lot numbers all got faster by a good bit and would not shoot like they had been--lots I had of much faster ammo like Polar Biathlon, Long Range etc started doing better in the very high humidity we are experiencing like 85% to high 90's Temp was mid 90's today but humidity was down around 60% and the Center X lots perked right back up and did well in testing today
Am I seeing what it looks like I am ? In the cooler early year the rifle loved lower speed stuff 1070 ish was the sweet spot and now in this crazy summer weather ammo that is chronoing very fast and doing good- is the Long Range , Polar etc 1130 ish
The Center x has jumped to mid 1090's but seems to just hate the very high humidity
Last match I shot 3 lots of center x during practice--all had been winning but they all did poor--slapped in some Polar Biathlon that was 1130 range and pulled it out of the fire with a win--That Polar had not been happy in the cool
So big match this Sat I plan on taking 5-6 lots and letting the ammo tell me what wants to shoot That day. Am I thinking right or is something else going on ??
FWIW I have really got my game together with cleaning, set up etc the season has been going Very well but now I find myself chasing a lot that will perform harder than I ever have had to
Thanks for input and ideas
