[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2851844, member: 118816"] It is virtually impossible to calculate the differences from -20 to +110. Too many factors to consider which include not only the differences in powder, whether it is temp sensitive or not. I doubt that there is a powder out there that is not affected by that extreme a temperature change. Powder not withstanding the effect of temperature on the rifle itself can cause all kinds of changes. Expansion and contraction of the metal as well as both wood or plastic stocks will affect how the rifle shoots. Name of the game remains, zero your rifle at the temperature you expect to encounter with the thought in mind that any drastic variation is going to cause issues. [/QUOTE]
