Humidity is a factor that is taken into account by some. However, I've never seen any allowance for precipitation. I've asked around and never found anyone who had heard of such a thing. I have a friend who was in Special Forces and was the "shooter" for his team and he hadn't heard of making an allowance. However, it seems to me that air with some precipitation, but not enough to obscure the target would be more dense than air that was just 100% humidity. Am I out in left field on this?

It was used for the Lee-Metford, Lee-Enfield, and the Japanese clone version in WWII. I have a milsurp Lee-Enfield No4Mk1 and can say that is a fairly remarkable round. Accurate and easily penetrates 1/4 steel plate at 30-40 yards. The weapon sighting system itself is calibrated between 200 and 1300 yards using the micrometer sight and 200 yards using the battle sight. I’m pretty sure .303 NATO is supposed to be .303 British.
