Cold Weather and Steel

[zoglog]

My buddies and I are getting ready for our 1st annual boomstick bash after Christmas. Targets include paper targets, snow balls, and clays that we expect to never see again. However, we will have some of your steel and were wondering if the cold temps are going to increase wear?

Depends on the steel. I have shot Bobcat steel in some of the coldest temps we see in Indiana with no wear.

Good to know. I figured it would be ok with Bobcat Steel, but wanted to check.

Any increase in wear will more than likely be offset with the decrease in velocities due to temperature sensitive powders in your ammo.....and even that is going to be splitting hairs.

in other words, enjoy your shoot and don't worry about it!

Oh good point! Thanks can't wait for some fun!
