[QUOTE="winmag, post: 597557, member: 22166"] TnKnightSticks is asking an honest, & valid question, & hasn't posted on this site as often as some of us. This leads me to belive he may not frequent here as often. He has however been a member longer than a lot of folks, & deserves respect. Obviously we've all seen this question with this powder or that many times. But some folks may never have hered an answer, & what better place to ask than here? I'm glad the members who posted are so polite. (so many newer members arent) Imo, both posts were right on the money too. (& somewhat comical haha) That says a lot a out the good people here on LRH. Now, for a partial answer to your question O.P..... Any load at or near max, with ANY powder, developed in cold temps (ie: winter) should not just be automatically trusted as safe in summer heat untill proven safe. Work up to that winter load in the summer to be safe. Then there is no question. Use a chrono to tell you the difference in speed if there is one. I have some RL-19 loads, right at max, developed in single digit temps that work just fine in Hells Canyon in August at 115*+. My experience may differ from others. But in the end I really like Alliant powders, & would use them anyway even if they were temp sensitive. Id just keep better records so I could keep my drops simmilar with given loads. I also use Hodgden, & IMR, but they are a bit coarse. I typically use Alliant, RL-... vs Hodgden, or IMR, if my rifle likes RL. Personal preferance I guess. [/QUOTE]
