[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 170534, member: 8622"] Tom, I heard that about Reloader 22 well after I'd worked up a nice shooting load for my 7mm Rem mag. And a buddy's .300 Win mag. And my son's 6mm Remington... It bugged me for a while, then I realized that none of us had any problems with our rifles or the loads I'd worked up, so I just let it ride. We get some pretty good extremes of temperatures here too. I've shot at my gun club at zero degrees in January and 100+ degrees in August. I often have more time for load work in the winter, but I always test my loads a bit in the heat of summer just to check. Then fall comes around and I'm hunting in cooler weather anyway. Did ruin some .308 cases on a hot day once, but they weren't loaded with Reloader 22. I'd say it's worth keeping an eye on the ammo you've loaded with Reloader 22, but I wouldn't go scrapping a good load just because the powder has a reputation for temperature sensitivity. Maybe it's simply not bad enough to affect you or your loads. Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
