[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 661986, member: 505"] I keep bullets in the magazine that are easily good for quick shots to several hundred yards at any temperature and seated to cycle through the magazine. I keep my long range bullets in a pocket next to my skin easily accesible for accurate long range shooting. On an extremely cold day the pocket must be on an inside garment next to your skin with a layer of insulation between it and the outside and remain accessible. Just common sense really. Your body temperature is not going to vary. If it does you have quite a bit more to worry about than keeping bullets consistent. I learned this as a kid back in the 70's shooting a 7mm-300 wby and H-870 pushing 175 grain boattails at high speed. I would have that baby dead on dialed in and miss low at long range on cold crisp rocky mountain mornings. Thank goodness when hunting in areas where a spot shot works. Didn't take but a couple times and I had that figured out. [/QUOTE]
