[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 1564714"] Was out on Wednesday checking on the missing bull...only to get a call from my aunt that he was in the calving barn....apparently 2500 pounds of cold red Angus bull can squeeze thru a half door that wasn't latched properly.....the digital thermometer indicated -47F on the N side of the barn...so can't really blame him...thankfully someone else has to get him out :) I think part of most Military ammunition testing includes -40F testing..I know the Mk248 Mod 0 had to be under SAAMI spec pressure at that temp. testing temps were 70F 125F -40F. Have been out on survival courses where temps got down to -30F not nice, even with proper arctic gear..I have shot rifles in those temps but prefer to be at home looking at the window drinking a cup of coffee.
