[QUOTE="Sflutes, post: 1573716, member: 106464"] Trajectory is primarily effected by gravity, drag, temperature, and wind. To understand the effect of temperature, you've got to observe the relationship of velocity to temperature by recording both in the data book. You need a thermometer and a chronograph. Depending, mostly, on the sensitivity of the gun powder you may or may not notice any effect on velocity. Guessing whether or not temperature is having an effect will not get you anywhere. Coming to an understanding for the effects of temperature will better assure good hits in conditions not controlled by the shooter, without trial. [/QUOTE]
