RL-22 shot it in the fall bug holes (+20c), took the rifle (30-06) up north in the winter(-20c) nearly missed my moose.......Brought the rifle home headed to the range 500 fps variation between top and lowest velocity....NEVER used RL-22 again....So yes temperature will affect you velocities IMHO

IF you switch primers be sure to reduce your load by 10% and work back up just to be sure.

Burris E1 scope 4-16 sighted in at 16x........ wonder bar....shot at a coyote on 4x.......he kept looking high in the sky every time the bullets went over his head.....so yes your point of aim will change even with so called "modern" scopes.....

NOW all my varmint guns wear fixed powered scopes.....KISS.
