[QUOTE="kaseyfied, post: 753020, member: 13743"] their is a easy way to find out.. and I have done this with ALOT of powders.. once yo find a load.. make up 10 rounds.. put 5 in a cooler.. and shoot the other 5.. you will see if its temp stable or not.. I have never found a hogden powder that hs 200fps difference in temp enviornments. I have hunted colorado, montana and oregon in some cold and hot conditions and never had problems with h1000, retumbo, h4350 and h4821sc.. I recently just tried rl19 in my 270 wsm.. shot it the first day in 40 degree weather.. not bad accuacy and velocities.. shot same load 3 days later in 27 degrees and it was all over the place.. velocities varied up to 65 fps.. and accuracy went out the window!! some have said rl is nottemp sensitive at all and who knows...I have always had very good luck with the cooler trick.. just put some on ice for 20 minutes.. and shoot the others if you can in around 70-80 degree weather.. gunwerks uses hodgden powder for their ammo and it works great for 0 degres to 90.. just my 2 cents though! kasey [/QUOTE]
