[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 972330, member: 1521"] Your powder may or may not be temp stable, but this is still relative to your system. That is, your gun(combined components) or the load(combined components) might not be stable at all. Why cool the ammo? Is this 'cold weather' ammo or something? Here, you have a hot gun with cold ammo, and I can't picture matching this in the field. If this is actually temp related, it represents what I counter with months of cold bore load development(lotta work). You may have a case, as I have in the past, where you get best accuracy or precision (not both). Precision is pulling out a gun and putting multi-shots in a tight group -wherever they happen to fall. Accuracy is pulling out a gun and putting 1 or more -where you need it. I can tell you accuracy is the more challenging attribute. It is also the most important attribute for a LR hunting gun, and it's sometimes independent of precision. If this is a hunting gun, keep your eye on it's accuracy separate of grouping, so that you don't go past an accurate load for one that groups better. [/QUOTE]
