Unclenick, this is a rifle that really only gets shot in warmer weather. There are not many varmints to hunt in northern Pennsylvania during the winter months. Coyotes maybe, but I do have lighter bullets to load and shoot in those conditions.
Its funny you mention the cold dry air being denser than warm and humid air. I was arguing with a friend of mine a few days about the effect that humidity has on the density of the air. I have been of the assumption for about a year now that humid air is less dense than dry air. Water vapor is less dense than air. So I figure that the the percentage of humidity there is in the air, the less dense the air will be.
I do apologize for rambling off topic. I still need an optic, so it might be a bit before I get this load going anyway.
