Air density doesn’t affect muzzle velocity, but it does affect trajectory. You will find this out from shooting at high elevations. Same for relative humidity. Although RH does affect velocity significantly if powder is allowed to gain more moisture or dry out, it affects burn rate hence muzzle velocity.
