[QUOTE="jmden, post: 134794, member: 1742"] No, it's not. However, Hodgdon lists velocities (or at least used to with their US859 add) with essentially zero velocity change over a huge temp range WITH THE 50BMG. However, most folks using it here are finding that it is not temp stable, I believe. But, like I said and many others attest to, neither are the Hodgdon Extreme powders (like Retumbo). When you are dealing with the heat you have, you probably need to work up a load that's safe during the higher end temps you're expecting to hunt in with any powder you may consider using. The Extreme powders may be a little more forgiving in this regard than standard powders, but there is no 'holy grail' of 'all temperature' reloading from what I've seen. [/QUOTE]
