[QUOTE="chindits, post: 2386762, member: 92909"] I have a serious questions about this. Does the cold effect barrel harmonics? So if you strive for xyz fps for accuracy is that still a viable goal when your barrel is -20 to -40? Maybe a slower velocity actually is more accurate in an extremely cold barrel? Also is there an accumulated degradation in gun powder performance as time at extreme temperatures continue. Say you are on a backpack hunt so it’s not one day at negative xy degrees but multiple? What about diurnal flux. Arctic village might not have a temperature change in winter because the sun never shines but in CO your powder could be changing 40 degrees or more every day. Does that have an accumulated effect?? Sorry to bring science back into the it was so cold stories but now I’m curious and I don’t think any Korean War veterans I know we’re doing studies back then.
