[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 1303256, member: 96274"] Aright the thread on the powder sitting in the hopper for a week and possibly changing the accuracy of a load got me thinking on something. I've read a few post where the person stated that rounds he loaded several months to years ago shot different than when they where first loaded. Others have told me they have loads from 10 years ago that still shoot great. I know there can be many variables to this but I'm wondering how many have seen this? Another thing that I'm sure is partially the culprit is temp sensitivity. So generally how do the rounds act if the powder is temp sensitive? What I mean by this is could you develop a load that's a solid .5 then when it gets cold be a 1.5 or generally does it stay tight but have a poi change? I ask these things because I'm trying to get all my loads developed over the next few months then really wanna make a bunch and forget it except practice and confirming zero when season gets close...I hunt like a mad man through archery season and don't have time for load development in the fall so what's ya'll opinions on the best approach?
