[QUOTE="tbrice23, post: 1048370, member: 59502"] I have always held the opinion that nothing in all creation is impervious to temp changes. One year I worked up a great load with RL22 in a 300WM in winter (5° to 30°) for hunting. The next summer i decided to practice in 85° and had to ues a rubber mallet to open the bolt. On the other hand, recently i had an awesome load for 300wsm and IMR4350 last summer. This winter my perfect load completely fell apart! Then i loaded my 2nd best load with H4350 and it held the same grouping or better and almost exactly the same velocity. I always start load development with hodgdons extreme powder but sometimes i find a better load before winter hits and have to find out the hard way. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
