[QUOTE="Radar13, post: 204110, member: 281"] Hey guys, I have only been reloading a couple of years and have a lot to learn, so here I am with a question Do you guys bump up the charge on your loads for winter use? a winter load and a summer load, the reason I ask is this fall I worked up a load for my Tikka 22-250, a 55 gr Nosler Varmageddon with H380 at 35.5 gr My groups are clover leafs and are 3381fps, I also found that 34.0 gr of IMR 4895 shot just as well at 3600 fps. I have a Burris Eliminator scope on this rifle, so I wanted to switch over to the IMR4895 load for higher velocity but when I went to sight in these loads the groups opened up to 0.780 for 5 shot group and the velocities dropped to 3215 fps, the outside temp was 32 degrees.
