[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2724937, member: 118816"] There are times when the US Military does not completely think things out. Back in the 60's and early 70's there was some ammunition that would experience 100 fps changes in velocity for every 10 degrees of temperature change. It's been a long time and as I remember the ammo was not long lived or widely used. While drops in temperature were troublesome, increases in temperature could be downright dangerous due to over pressure. There was actually one M-14 that blew apart on the range during a practice session. Fortunately nobody got injured. Sounds like this may be an issue with CFE 223 hopefully not to this extreme. I have a couple of pounds of it and have had problems trying to obtain and hold a zero with ammo loaded with it. Maybe temp fluctuations are the issue. Will require more experimentation. [/QUOTE]
