[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 1236373, member: 67706"] I havent seen much on the temp sensitivity of this powder and I have been using it for a year or more so decided to finally do some initial testing today. My personal experience hasnt shown much change but I havent got real numbers until today. My test round was 6.5 Creedmoor in ruger american predator with the 143 ELD-X. I put 3 rounds in the freezer and set 3 rounds on the deck in the shade for 30 min before shooting to get to ambient temp. I had an error on one of my 3 rounds of frozen ammo so didnt get speed from my magnetospeed. Not sure about the big ES but it was only 2 rounds I got readings from. At 12 degree F I got 2874 and 2856 fps for average of 2865 fps at 64 degree F I got 2840, 2846, and 2854 fps with 2847 fps avg This give me a .35 fps/degree change which I think is pretty good. I'll do some more testing later and with some different cartridges. Just thought I'd share. [/QUOTE]
