When to the range this weekend and tried a little experiment with warm rounds and cold rounds. Temp. 15 deg and calm Rifle Rem 700 30-06 Load Winchester Supreme 180gr Fail Safes Cold Loads (15 deg) 2575,2595,2584fps Very accurate Warm loads (kept in truck next to heater) 2631,2621,2620fps Very accurate and POI unchanged Load #2 150gr Accubond 61.5gr Ramshot Hunter Cold rounds: 2896,2885,2881 Warm Rounds: 2896,2905,2908 POI Unchanged Load #3 150 Accubond 58.5gr Ramshot BigGame Cold Rounds:2965,2952,2944 Warm Rounds: 2989,2964,2951 POI Unchanged As you can see the fps from warm to cold was minimal and POI was unchanged. It looks like the below zero shit is on it's way. I will try this test again when the temps are about 20 below and see what happens. | ||
