[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2923671, member: 101791"] A little of the subject. It use to be a purple heart and $0.15 would get you a cup of coffee anywhere.😁 That was back when coffee was $0.10. Now back to the subject. I am a firm believer in cold bore shots when you are hunting. Follow up shots if needed too. I feel that you need to know how your rifle is going to react. Now my first 5 shot out the barrel to me are the most important. What I hadn't given much thought on on cold bore shots in extreme cold weather. Now I never or didn't think that I had a problem with what I would call extreme cold bore shots. I have taken larger animal in -20 weather and in 100+ out to 500yds. So back to the boards and see what happens. Going to the range and shooting your rifle cold bore, but how about in extreme weather with you packing your rifle around in the mountain on your side. It can't be room temp or out of the truck to the range rack to setup and shoot. I can't answer that question, but now you have me wondering if there any different. Maybe somebody can answer that? I find this very interesting, and will continue to read. [/QUOTE]
