It must be because of temperature Sensitivity or some thing else.


It doesn't matter squat how much clothes you're wearing if the crosshairs are steady when the shot goes off, and wind has been accounted for.

And if the exact same load has been shot 200 times in the summer and fall, with no zero or group size change, then the zero moves and the group size doubles when the temps fall 40 degrees, I think it is safe to say the powder might be the culprit.

As is the intent of this post, to find out people's experience with RL-22, and big temperature swings.

We really don't care what Jack O'Conner said about sighting in a rifle, we want to hear YOUR firsthand experiences with RL-22 and big temperature swings. Got any?...
