[QUOTE="Kevin, post: 89215, member: 603"] It is mainly the air that is doing it. In the cold, air is much more dense. Your initial velocity (depending on powder) could be lower as well. Barrels in general shoot worse groups in the cold also. The benefit to leaving your gun in the truck would be that condensation will not get all over it when you bring it in the warm house. For this same reason I would not reccomend the handwarmer idea. If the gun was in the cold and then putting it in a warm gun case would form condensation on the gun. [/QUOTE]
