Don’t use it in the cold and think you’re going to see the same results you are accustomed to. Shot a Steel Challenge match today with my ole trusty M&P and the same load that I’ve been loading for years, (3.2 TG under 147gr Xtreme). It was about 12-15 degrees when we started but it really didn’t feel that cold with the sun and no wind. I couldn’t hit the big side of the barn for nothing! Slide was barely moving and the sights looked like they were stopping 3-5 times per shot! It was that slow. I missed more on the first stage than I probably missed all of last year, combined! It never got any better. The only decent stage was Smoke & Hope and for those that don’t know, you don’t need accuracy for that. I had no idea what was happening during the match. My sights are fixed so they couldn’t have moved. Once I got home I set up a target at 15 yards and fired 7 shots and all 7 were about 4” low.
Moral of the novel, Titegroup is apparently extremely temperature sensitive. I’ve used it for 5+ years and never knew. Google will confirm the same.
