Doing quite a bit of reading on weather conditions and rimfire benchrest shooting. Some shooters record much more than others. However, I'm only curious about rimfire at 50 yards.
I've been to quite a few matches and I usually get there early and there are quite a few shooters that have their Kestrels out taking readings and then looking over their notes.
I asked one fellow a few questionst, but he didn't want to talk about it. He wasn't rude, just didn't want to talk about his notes. Funny though, when I saw him later and talked about his rifle and other items, he was very open. So, I asked a question about the effect of barometric pressure on the flight of the bullet. He smiled and did not answer.
What are serious shooters looking for before changing from one ammunition FPS to maybe the same brand of ammunition but different FPS. I've seen some shooters recording;
1. barometric pressure
2. relative humidity
3. temperature
4. wind speed
5. wind direction
The ones I listed seen to be pretty general what I've seen.
Can anyone add to the list?
