[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1256772, member: 48043"] Up here in N.D. I always build my loads based on both cold and warm weather performance. It takes a bit of time but you'll find out rather quickly what should work in your rifle for both. I am not really a Hodgdon fan (more into rl powder) but I do burn a bit of retumbo and keep a keg in the basement. It will be a decent powder for all temps with your Lapua; my brother is using retumbo in his Lapua too. I would always keep a few % headroom and never run it to the sticky bolt point. A bit milder load usually shoots lower average group size and is easier on your barrel too. I'd use a wlrm or 215 to fire that much powder in cold temps too... [/QUOTE]
