[QUOTE="John Klingenberg, post: 1854927, member: 107749"] I never dealt with powder temp sensitivity when I lived in Texas. It's an understood rule across the state to not leave ammo on the dash or eventually you'll have a cook off. I was bad about it until I had a .308 break my lower windshield on a pleasant 112 degree day. When I moved to Michigan I built a 6br in June. I worked up an awesome load with RL15 and it was a nice one hole rifle. Later I took it out on a nice January day using my June loads and it was shooting 3 inch groups. I went over all the screws, bedding, crown etc. Everything looked fine. Then the powder sensitivity occured to me. I swapped to Varget and 8208. No problems year around. I have some of the original loads left and they shoot excellent from May to October but anything below 30 it's a terrible load. [/QUOTE]
