.22lr in the snow

You shoulda called yourself Diehard Wolfdog.

Do you notice any difference in accuracy in such cold? There would be no such thing as subsonic at those temps. Mind you, there is the 720 fps and 9 something as well. Not sure what sonic velocity would be at that cold. I'm just wondering whether the cold affects the ammo, not so much the sound barrier effects although that may play a role too. although, as long as the round is well above or well below it should effect accuracy.

I love cold weather and would shoot some targets in the winter (Wisconsin) But several things prevent that:
1. Don't have a place to shoot. We have a range but it closes from Thanksgiving to May.
2. I am feeble and poor health now and cant do much even in the summer.
3. When doing stuff in the Winter ...when it's like -15° F you have to move around a lot. Shooting is tough to do cuz you got to be still.
I miss ice fishing the most. I like that FAR more than hunting. Maybe even more than fishing in the warmer weather. I love being out there ALONE in the cold. Used to go ice fishing at night all alone. You gotta try it. It is a spiritual experience.
The coldest I ever went was with a buddy when we were 16 yrs old. Went to a local lake when it was -18° F with 22 mph winds AT NOON. We had an old army tent but the wind was blowing so bad it had on effect. Lifted it right up and blew underneath. We only lasted about an hour but both had a half a 5 gallon bucket of bluegills in that time. Nice ones too. EXHILARATING.

The good thing about shooting in the cold is often you are the only one at the range.
