Heating and cooling rounds does NOT provide accurate info on temp-sensitivity. For real results, the tests have to be performed in the actual ambient temperature, whether below zero or 100 degrees.

This is because the temperature of the rifle makes far more difference than the temperature of the ammo, due to to chamber either heating or cooling chilled/heated ammo--and the bolt-face heating/cooling the primer.
