[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1048921, member: 10291"] I have done a lot of my load devopment during the winter months. I hunt in temperatures that range from 0-80 degreess, but mostly 15-50 degrees. In the past I have seen differenences when using loads developed at the extremes, but have pretty much elimated this is recent years using the Hogdon extreme temperature powders and avoiding maximum pressures in my loads. For example, if have found no temperature issues in my 6.5-284 and 300WM using Retumbo. In both loads, this powder gives me velocities that are at least as high as the next best powder choice, low ES, fills a majority of the case, and shows no pressure signs across the temperatures I see when hunting. All this, of course started with the requirement that load produced the accuracy I wanted. [/QUOTE]
