[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 659410, member: 5302"] Ball powders do tend to be more temperature sensitive than extruded ones, but that's only in the extremes for the most part. Rifle shooters who properly test and use reloads with both ball and extruded powders easily see that ball powders don't shoot bullets as accurate as extruded ones. Lake City Army Ammunition Plant snuck some ball powder in their 7.62 NATO match ammo in the 1980's and their phones rang off the hook from the military rifle teams calling to complain about the poor accuracy of those production lots.
