Living on the coast of Maine means rarely having "ideal" weather for shooting; so unless you want to wait a long time for a perfect day--you do what you can.
I decided to see just how well I could do in a classic Maine "pea-souper" and selected my recent 280 AI build since I've done very little actual load development with it. Target is at 240 yds and I could barely make out a smudge. Had it not been for the errant shot at the upper left this would have been a pretty decent group. 150 gr eldx driven by 56.8 grs of 6.5 StaBall. StaBall might not be the ultimate in competition powder--but I have been very impressed by it's over-all performance across a wide variety of cartridges and conditions. I've used it from right around zero degrees all the way up to 80+
