Hi folks I have another question for the observant folks over here.
I was doing some research on reloder 17, but the powder is not really important.
I was wondering what the temperature changes affect?
Lets say I develop a load in a nice Rust Belt winter and I have found a good node for my rifle low ES and SD numbers and tiny groups.
If I shot that load when it was 100 degrees out and my velocities go up.
So the temperatures go up and the velocity goes up, can that shift my node and affect my SD and ES? Accuracy? Is it different compared to having a node shifted at the same temperature with a different amount of powder?
I use a cold bore ballistic program and I am pretty good about logging my temperatures and velocities, will I be able to compensate with a good ballistic program? Or if the swing in velocity is large enough it can screw up my groups and ES and SD numbers?
