Default RE: Testing loads in cold weather?

I have also noticed that several of my rifles shoot a little lower at 100 yards in cold weather. I'm assuming this is a result of the 100 or more fps in speed that they lose between August and January. The difference is only an inch or two - not enough to be a significant factor at normal big game hunting ranges - but enough to miss a coyote at distance.
