I am sorely disappointed that no one liked my brand of humor. :confused:
Ok, enough self-pity. Now, I'll try to be helpful.
FWIW: I have sighted in various .22 rifles in the summer, and when hunting squirrels in the cold weather, have not noticed any change in accuracy.
Granted, this was not long range precision target shooting for score.
When I used to shoot competitive pistol (25 and 50 yards and meters) there was really no discernible seasonal difference (at those ranges).
As with any rimfire, you simply need to try lots of different types and brands of ammo until you find what shoots well in yours. It is likely different than what shoots well in another rifle.
From experience, I can tell you that hunting in cold weather with shotgun ammo, you need to used a slower burning powder ie: go to blue dot from red dot that sort of thing. Now as to rimfire ammo I dont know what to tell you other than go to a slower fps ammo such as target ammo. Thats about it.
