[QUOTE="rocky_lange, post: 209969, member: 10087"] [b]Varget[/b] I live in Alabama and developed my hunting load in 80 degree weather. Rifle is an AR10A2, .308 Winchester 20" barrel. Bullet was a 168gr Barnes TSX over 45gr VARGET C.O.A.L. to fit magazines and crimped using Lee Factory Crimp die. For my purposes, velocity was not an issue as I use iron sights and was using this rifle for drives where longrange shots were not expected. From a mechanical benchrest style front rest and rear bag I could shoot 5 shot sub 3 MOA groups from 100 yards. When I arrived in Wisconsin in November for the hunt, I shot at the range from a "tackdriver bag" front rest and rear bag in 30 degree weather and still shot 5 in sub 3 MOA. More importantly, I noticed no evidence of a shift in point of impact. Dead on at 80 degrees, dead on at 30 degrees. I love my VARGET! Rocky [/QUOTE]
