kk,

Lack of ambient light is something I don't have to deal with, but we get a little bit of that rain here on the OR coast too. A bunch of my load development has been done during the rainy season. I work out in the hills, out of the back of my rig. I use a pop-up blind or makeshift shelter for the chrono. At times I've been able to sneak in a few shots in light rain, then bring the chrono under cover while cooling the barrel. A bud made a plexi-glass raincover for his chrono.

Just recently tried RS Hunter and 162 in the rain with my 84 in 7-08. A handful of rounds loaded in increments up to max book fired over the chrono told me the powder was too slow. Literally took minutes. No sense shooting groups and time for something that is slower than what I'm looking for. Likewise, if I'm faster than I expect I want to know about it rather than guess.
