This business about higher velocity variances with certain powders going from warmer to colder weather, is an overrated issue imo.


I have yet to see any hunter place a target on their game and shoot for groups during their hunts. It is the first shot that matters. And as long as one is sighted in for the cold weather, then using a powder which is more temp sensative shouldn`t matter all that much if at all.


Complete bullshit. During hunting season I might see a 70 degree temp swing from one day to the next. Am I going to sight in every morning?

You should have stayed away like you you said you were going to do.
