Cold weather load development

3 feet!!!!

That's not even normal is it? I thought for sure you'd be in the 4-5 ft range by now. Arrived AL yesterday- clear blue skies and 42 degrees and everyone is bitchin' about the cold weather.
Have fun on the snow blower.
 
Cold Weather!

Cold Weather Load development is a waste of time........ Al your either slipping or very bored
 
As I read your posts Al, you said you shot from a heated room during the winter. Only the deer hunting rounds were put in the freezer. If you chronograph those, you must have very patient deer out there. They are much worse here. Eat our azaleas, raid the bird feeder. I have even gotten into stomping matches with them. Ain't no way they'd sit around while I set up a chrono.
 
ok ok OKAY!!!! :):):)

I develop loads all year, from my heated room...... and with a chronograph...... and it is my OPINION that the rounds fly through the cold air just like summertime.

When I take my loaded rounds OUTSIDE and shoot them over 600-1000yds (I don't HAVE this option from my heated room) I keep them warm. AGAIN, they seem to shoot just like summertime.

FOR HUNTING ROUNDS which I also load and test year-round.... I freeze them. Because it's never that cold here and because I'm lazy and because I benchmark my loads at 0 degrees, 70 degrees and 120 degrees F........ and chart them and print out the chart.

All's I was trying to say is..... shooting in the cold is not a waste of time if you keep your rounds heated. Like in an inner pocket.

I agree that setting up the thrower out in the snowbank and winging away is probably a waste of time....... unless you were working up cold weather hunting loads.

crazy?

bored??

Dunno, I just shoot all year for the same reason a dawg licks hisself.......
