[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1364916, member: 7999"] Interesting thread. We were just having this discussion the other day. We have not tried to test it yet and I also have nothing other than a feeling that we are seeing variance in terminal performance based on air temp. My suspicion is just speculative at this point but I think the OP is onto something. When I get a chance I am going to just do a simple test by shooting cold and hot bullets into media and see if I can observe a difference in bullet deformation. We have tested bullets on hot summer days vs winter and I think we see better results when it is hot. Have not paid specific attention to it but as I recall back on test sessions I think there is something to it. Steve [/QUOTE]
