Lasered 40 yards 35 degrees

Federal 7- 129

Hevi 7- 147

I will say the feds had over 20 more hits just outside the circle.

Would you shoot the feds or hevi?

Both are doing great.  Around 130 Fed HW 7s in the 10", and over twice that in the 20" sounds great to me.  I would go with that for the higher energy on target for the Feds.

Yeah the hevi had a more even 10" but both had close to the same 20" #

with it being 35 degrees when I shot, can I expect those numbers to increase in higher temps?

Generally, yes.
