I lost a very nice deer one time in very cold weather. I had no issue, that I remember, cycling the bolt, but the cold oil inside the bolt made the striker so sluggish that the primer was barely dented and failed to fire. When it warmed up some back at the cabin, the same cartridge fired with no problem. I learned the lesson, even though I am a slow learner.
