I had 2 magazines a glock and Kriss 10/30 going in this. Neither mag cared for my hand loaded semiwad cutters and jammed up but they ran good with the jacketed and the partially rounded lead rounds.

It was very cold -22 with the wind.

Anyway it was 45acp day.

 
Almost 650 rounds tru my TD 10mm and in pretty cold temps -25 no failures, it just go and go... JP.
 
I'm not surprised to hear about the semi-wadcutters giving jams. Some firearms simply don't like them. What weight is the bullet? If I had to guess, they looked like 185's. Keep feeding it RN bullets and it'll never have a problem. Why mess with success?

Don'tkillbill: Which province are you in?
 
Good point Kirk. It was a mild -12 to -14 :) Your right its still only the temperature it reads on the thermometer. I'm interested on the affect it has on the lube. I heard people use graphite powders in really cold weather. The gun worked fine with a very little bit of rem oil around the action.
 
I tried my SKS at -20C to see if it would suffer any of the problems I've often read about soldiers having with their firearms in world war 2. (Not that the SKS was around for it, but its close)
And I found it had no problems whatsoever. I'm not sure how modern gun oil compares to what they had then though.

One of these days at -30C I want to give it another try.
