[QUOTE="abinok, post: 90370, member: 16"] Jimm, As you know, im a Hodgen guy, but back in the dark days when I tried RL22 with my highly specialized and scientific (yeah right) method of temp stabalized ammo testing using ziploc bags of water, ice water, hot water, in my pocket, and in the sun on a hot day, I figured that from typical zero cenditions of about 60-70 degrees, i lost 30fps at ice water temps, and gained 60-70fps on the hottest ones... accounting for the ES of the load. Just a guess, but id say 30fps would be a good guess. The other option of course would be to keep them in an inside pocket, near to your body so as to keep them closer to body temp, and then load them if you have time, and shoting the cold rounds in the mag if you jump one close. Good luck! so how many does this one make for the season? [/QUOTE]
