[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 807192, member: 11717"] As MMRES said, starting velocity will be different for each powder type. Some are more temp sensitive than others. I've read some reports that some powders will change about 1 fps per 1* of temp change. I think the best thing to do is shoot under different temps and record the results. I also think it's a good idea to shoot and confirm velocity and drops during hunting season temps. Here in Montana, temps can vary greatly during hunting season. Probably a good idea to to have several trajectories loaded into the calc based on temp. [/QUOTE]
