Depends.

Cold weather issues are not a one size fits all proposition.

My 45-70 shows little trouble with CR, my 32-20 gets really bad at 45 with same lube. Bullet diameter and weight play a role.

My experience is that many guns show a 2 inch or so flyer at 100 with a cold barrel and some lubes. Is that a big enough issue for you to miss?

Minus 20 is also very different from plus 20. That 40 degrees isn't any different than 30 to 70 now is it? 90 degrees won't bother LLA or 45-45-10 one bit.

Only Way to know for sure is to try them in your gun at those temps and find out.
