Practice in the rain

Shot in the rain yesterday at 600yds to confirm my zero. Wore rain pants but didn't cover my jacket. The new sealing treatment (Aussie leather conditioner which is primarily beeswax) worked a treat and rain had no effect. I wouldn't do that in heavier conditions but it was fine in moderate rain.

What didn't work so well is my 8B lead pencil - which I use on the Plotomatic. It literally melted in the rain! Absolutely useless. Fortunately I found my usual 4Bs at Sainsbury and can use those going forward.

No shooting today after checking both rifles at the zero range (both dead nuts on). Not selected for the BCRC match today (19 shooter team and 8 open slots) but get to shoot in the morning against a formidable RAF team at 500/600 yds so I'm happy.

Here's what the Plotomatic looked like during my shoot:
