    Scribe thats a slightly different question, the issue here is around powder/barrel/chamber temp, the variation between winter and summer and how that affects muzzel velocity. The effect of atmospheric temp and pressure on bullet flight is relevant and needs to allowed for when shooting longer ranges but you need to be pushing past 450-500 yds for it matter in hunting terms.
    Just a slopy retrobate
