[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1586296, member: 18849"] Tough tests to do when you actually only get one truly cold barrel shot per day (The one that counts at crunch time). In winter weather (below zero temps) you actually can get more than one with better heat transfer to normalize the barrel temp. Temperature fluctuations (tested) also require different shooter clothing and even muscle tone of the shooter. All variables will effect the muzzle velocity for that all important first cold bore shot of the day. We must include how we approach the gun and even the stool height. That being said I like h4350 as well as h4831 in small cartridges like 6.5 creed, 25-06 and .260s. I shoot and hunt in temps from -20f to 90 above and see spreads of approx 25 to 50fps in those extremes although some are drifting completely out of nodes. [/QUOTE]
