Default Conclusion to 'nother Weather Test

OK, I am trying one here in northern Idaho. I am trying to simulate the same things I would do as if it were going hunting.

Day 1 -> weather 32 degrees humidity 67%.

a) Wipe the bore with 2 clean white patches...
b) Took the gun out in the shop - fired two Remington 209-4's cap
c) Back in the house wipe the barrel again 3 dry patches...
d) Load 100 grains 0f T7-2f - right from the shooting box that has been in the rec room since hunting season...
e) Topped with a MMP HPH-24 sabot and a Speer 300 grain Gold Dot.
f) Inserted a used primer in breech plug
g) Cleared snow from deck and put rifle on the deck

It will stay till about 4:00 then come right back into the garage (unheated) Then back into the house and back outside in the morning what ever weather comes - let it come.

This will continue until sometime next week when I have to go back to work...
