[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1231914, member: 8873"] Barrelnut and WildRose have a point, which is different from what I read into your question. At your max range of 600, either the change in air temp or the powder temp on their own can amount to a couple of inches difference of point of impact change on your elevation. However if the two are combined then it can make things frustrating if you aren't aware of what's happening. If I'm shooting that range or further I am careful to pay attention to the air temp/baro pressure and update it often. I also keep my ammo in a controlled environment and out of the elements.
