[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 513239, member: 2736"] Depending on what brand of powder you are using you need to check velocity swings from summer to winter. Some powders are temperature sensitive and some are not. so testing your load will tell you if you have a problem with this. During the summer I load down from max and during the winter I can up the powder charge if I have to on some powders.WARNING!!! These loads should not be used during the summer and should be marked so. I chronograph every thing I load at 16' and measure drop out to the distance to be used because with temp changes comes other factors that can effect bulled flight. The chronograph is a wonderful tool for long range shooters but it will not tell you what your bullet is doing at different distances. Take/make the time to sight in during the winter. Most serious long range shooters even check zeros when changing altitude. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
