Peterson SRP in cold weather

[Bater]

Planning to run Peterson 243 SRP/CCI450’s in a new 243AI. Most likely will land on H1000. Any experience with ignition reliability of this combo in cold weather?

Use alpha .260 SRP and neck it down. Alpha has the .080 flash hole which I have not had any issues with in the cold down to around 0° F

Yeah, that’s what I use in my 260AI, was trying to stay away from it so I could differentiate between the two but I’m afraid that’s the right answer.

I'm not really sure if the flash hole does make a giant difference, but you could drill the flash hole of the Peterson if you got any hang fires then see if that solves the issue. For hunting loads I have moved to LR just so I don't have the worry in the back of my mind.

Yeah, I'd think a guy could drill flash holes larger if they wanted to. LRP seems to be the easier button though.
