The contribution of small angle nuclear scattering to uncertainties in bubble chamber measurements is reexamined to include experiments at high momenta (above 4 GeV/c). Use is made of recent high energy elastic scattering data to estimate these uncertainties for π±, K±, p, and p. Finally the contribution from interference between Coulomb and nuclear scattering is evaluated for π± and p.
