[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 245302, member: 1007"] Personaly I do not sight in for the cold bore shot. Most of the time a true cold bore shot is unpredictable anyway. I sight in for a warm barrel. None of my barrels are that affected by it that much anyway. That is I have a new barrel on one of my rifles and have not yet had a chance to see how bad it is or isnt. I have tested my 308 at -3 degrees F and have not seen enough effects to warrent a change and at 20+ degrees it is dead on. My old 300 RUM barrel was minimal as well at 10 degrees and warmer. Once things got to th 30's it wasnt an issue at all. I have had rifle that suffered a conciderable amount from the CBS but was never concistent so zeroing for the CBS was pointless. I do not have any of those rifles anymore. Shorter fatter barrels are typically affected a lot less than long skinny barrels. Big magnums are also more affected than smaller cartridges. [/QUOTE]
