[QUOTE="Big_Sky Hunter, post: 2387067, member: 117717"] Interesting thread. I live just south of OP in same province and hunt and shoot in similar weather. Not out hunting in quite that extreme but was able to get my first quadruple coyote on one stand last year in about -35 C. Had to snowshoe in 2 miles to get to the river due to all the snow we had last year but was worth it. Just have to dress for weather and take it slow. Nikon range finders do work in that weather it just takes an eternity for the range to appear on the screen. As far as load data goes I like to sight in and shoot in the weather I will probably be hunting in. I was doing load development around Christmas in about -25 for a new Tikka T3x SS in .204. Was shooting 32gr Vmax to about 3930. Chrono worked and stayed lit for the hour I was out. Not sure how accurate it was in that weather but it showed me some plausible numbers. I still gave my barrel a minute in between shots and my 4th and 5th shots started walking, might be due to the pencil barrel or my frozen hand lol. Another side note my POI with that load was an inch lower at 100yds in -25C vs the +5C temperature when I sighted it in. Never got velocities for that day, wishing I had now to compare. [/QUOTE]
