[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2450201, member: 118038"] If you want more consistent velocities as charge weight is varied, you will have to go with a Hodgdon Extreme, an Enduron IMR, or one of the powders Alliant and Vihtavuori advertise as temp insensitive. The Ramshot powders are ball powders and therefore the most temperature sensitive vs. extruded stick powders and the ones above chemically altered to be less temp. sensitive. Temperature swings greatly affect burn rate, so much so it can be like a whole different powder at times, especially w ball powders. So, either run your velocity nodes at close to actual hunting weather temps and load for that temp, or go to an extreme powder to do the load development. Pretty much what everyone is saying I think.
