Love the new title of this sub section by the way... Maybe I never noticed it before, but I think it may have changed...
Anywho...
With the winter months fast approaching, I usually hibernate into my recliner and don't venture out into the cold Wisconsin temperatures, but I thought this winter I might want to do a little distance shooting. (I say that now... Who knows what will happen when the snow flies though)
My question is this:
Does the temperature affect the grouping or just the POI?
I've found a good recipe for my R700 .308, and I'm happily getting .3-.5 MOA groups at POA right now. Once the temps start going down, (and if I do my job...) will my groups stay about the same size, just impacting a different location on target, and forcing me to adjust my turrets, or should I expect my group size to change also?
Assuming everything else stays the same as far as position, equipment, ammo, etc...
