QUESTION from a Patreon Subscriber:
"Howdy Rex, Went to the range today, it was pouring down raining and wanted to get your take on a few things. I was severely under prepared for the rain, having accounted for the cold but not getting wet. Still, my rifle system performed pretty damn well and I was stoked (and soaked) when I left. Besides the mental aspect of the cold wet weather, I also experienced or perceived an increase in pressure due to the moisture in my chamber. Have you ever experienced this or trained to mitigate it? I had a definable audible difference and report on several firings, I chalked it up to the visible moisture in my chamber as this surplus ammo has been pretty consistent and my bolt closed easily. Every so often I even titled my barrel fwd, but I’m sure if it was that bad I would’ve know in a hurry! Other than that, No fog in my optics (SWFA), I sat on my laminated tax stamp so my Fanny wasn’t wet and felt pretty damn good about my groups! Thanks for all you do! Best, Mike.100y, 43 degrees and raining. No value 15mph wind but it made the rain miserable, .308 Win Ruger American Predator, M188 LR

"Yessir. Water expands 1,600x when it turns to steam. Even a little moisture in a hot chamber can steam while firing reducing volume in chamber for cartridge to sit, this will increase pressure. I have some tricks I learned from snipers in Europe, I'll shoot a video for you and post it ASAP."
