That has always caused me wonder as well. In googling, I came up with the weight of an average raindrop as being about 1.3 grains (if I did the math correctly - it said .003 ounce, so I divided 7000 by 16 and then took that times .003). Another source said that a raindrop hits Earth with a force equal to 349 X its weight. That comes out to about 454. Naturally, I don't have the faintest idea what any of that means. Would someone who understands this stuff and possesses great patience explain what effect one raindrop striking a given bullet (lets say a 180 grain .30 caliber starting out at 2700 fps) would have upon it? (Please try to keep it simple so that the slow among us can sort of understand the explanation - thanks in advance.)
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.
