    Advanced Marksmanship Shooting in extreme cold

    Re: Shooting in extreme cold You are correct, 2in change of POI @ 1000yrds isn't much. One 1/4min click on your scope will move it 21/2in. I would say it didn't make any differance at all. I have been using Benchmark in my .223 and H4350 in my .243 and haven't seen any change in POI with...
