Same here great stuff. I’ve ran it in my POF during twelve below weather with 15 plus mph winds making it feel like -38 plus below. Fed and cycled flawlessly and the gun grouped beautiful that day. I was load testing my gun at the last minute before jumping on a plane to predator hunt in AZ. I shot a cloverleaf my first try at 100 yards with a 60 grain vmax and 25 grains of benchmark. The next three shots measured .3” at 200 yards. I called it a day since my fingers were frost bit from touching my gun.
I had a cz 452 not firing with light primer strikes in -14 degrees. I took the bolt assembly apart, cleaned it, and reassembled and lubed it with EWL slip 2000 and went out the next day in the same weather conditions and had 1 FTF out of 250 22lr rounds. The round that FTF had no primer material in it so it wasn’t the guns fault. Before cleaning 1 in 3 would FTF.
