Frostproof FL Info

Recommended Posts

I’m gonna be attending the Florida state at frostproof in January, and I’m curious if I should be concerned bout PF I shoot limited major. I live in upper east TN it’s currently in the 40-50’s here right now. I’m chrono at 170-172 PF will that change in Florida since it’ll be warmer?

No, shouldn't be an issue, unless you have a reverse temperature sensitive powder, even then the change d/t temperature won't be huge in January from your chronoed temperature of 40-50.  You might find your load to be more smokey there though.  That was my experience and I assumed it was d/t the humidity.  The bays face east & west so the smoke is more noticeable on early morning stages or late afternoon stages as you shoot into the sun.

What powder are you using?? I'll be there as well. I use wst which is reverse temp sensitive so I'll be using my summer charge.

I'd bet that TN gets similar swings in April and October.   ???

 

When I lived in NY, April is usually very rainy and lows of 35 F going up to 55 F.

but I remember snow storms in April and I remember one week in April that

was HOT in the 80's).

 

Temperature swings seem to be the norm everywhere I've lived.    :)

The effects temperature, altitude and humidity have on air density, that's the difference between where you are in TN and FL when it comes to chrono. Using a ballistics calculator for those values how large of a difference do you see in your velocity 10 feet from the barrel?

 

Long story short, you won't have to change a thing if you're 175 at home.
