Not as crazy as it may sound. Theoretically, lower air pressure, warm temperature and high humidity should all contribute to reduced air density--does this help 22lr bullets?
I decided to try and find out--rifle is CZ 457 topped by a Leaupold HD5. The Leaupold delivers in spades where all my other scopes would have issues of some sort or other--no fogging, crisp picture and resolution despite fog and water splatter. Bonus--even at top magnification of 35x there was no notable parallax distortion, that generally doesn't happen with natural sunlight out. My stash of "the good stuff" ran out so the only thing I have left to reach out a bit is Ely HV. Today I was shooting at 243 yards, I shot a few 10 shot groups which were around 5". However, one of the groups hand a tantalizing "subgroup" of 5 shots around 1"--could very well be the other shots were shooter error.
