Just purchased a Bushmaster Varminter. Absolutely love the gun. The straightest shooting .223 I have ever owned or had the privilege to fire. Now I am in the process of working up a load for the gun. I have fired 45, 55 and 63 grain bullets. It seams to like the heavier grain bullets. I was wondering if anyone else is or has worked up a load for the Varminter. It has the 24” stainless steal barrel with a 1 in 9 twist. Does anyone have any cold weather tricks for AR’s? Or noticed a difference in performance in sub-zero weather with their AR’s? Thanks |

stainless steal steel Does anyone have any cold weather tricks for ARs? Or noticed a difference in performance in sub-zero weather with their ARs? Use a synthetic based lubricant like Break Free, TW25B or G96 in sub-zero weather to prevent the lube from congealing in the cold. Avoid petrol based lubricants below freezing. Stuff like hoppes, three in one and outers oil and especially WD-40 are a no-go in an AR, regardless of temp. |
