Temperature vs. pattern
« on: July 02, 2009, 03:58:21 PM »
I own a 12 gauge USH (SB2-980).  The scope I have on it is the Nikon Slughunter.  I sighted-in the gun last year out to 100 yards.  Next week I plan on going to the range, and want to sight it in at 150 yards.  My question is, if I sight it in during an 80 degree day with no wind, will it shoot the same on a 25 degree morning?

Please reply

 From 80 to 25 I doubt there will be much if any noticeable difference. If you leave either the gun or the ammo out in the sun and it gets really hot that could be something more along the lines of what would cause a difference in aim points.
