[QUOTE="WRG, post: 253750, member: 13638"] I was out yesterday and the temp was 15 degrees. Working up loads for my Remington M700P TWS / 308 using Varget powder. 5 shot groups @ 100 yards working the powder up in .5 grn increments. Chrony is a Pact 2 rev B4 and worked excellent all day. I think it is really hard to tell what effect temp has when working up a load in colder temps until you can compare the same work up in warmer temps. I will do the same work up in the spring when temps are around what it is when hunting here at home 30 - 40 degrees. At that point I will be able to compare the data from both work ups. The work up I was doing yesterday was for the temps I could expect to see in Labrador next fall hunting Caribou. I will also be working up loads for my new X-bolt 7MM when it comes in this week. Same thing, work up loads for colder & warmer temps. If temp has an effect, when it's all said and done I can decide which rifle I want to use for colder temps and the other for warmer temps. This way I don't have to mess with zero and can practise shooting almost year round. Hopefully the temps with the Varget won't have much if any effect and I can use either in any temp as they claim. Will see! [/QUOTE]
