[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2852011, member: 101791"] I haven't had a problem in shootng in -20 weather to 110+weather. It's all about knowing what and how your rifle shoots. The others is what type of powder you are using. Here a chart on Hodgdon Powders on temps sensitivity powders. Especially look at H4350, H4831, and Varget powders. Compair to other powders listed in the chart. That should open your eyes up. There only one double base powder I use in one hunting rifle, and it was tested in hot weather. that where it has been used at. the most of my shot while huntng have been one shot kills. In all types of weather and yardage from 30 to 500. I haven't work out any longer shots than that with my rifles. I do know that I can't achieve the same velocity between the single and double based powders. Generaly found that the single base powder are just a little slower, not much but some. At the same time I have a very narrow range of powders I use. Double base powder are generally far more sensitivity to temp changes. There is some powder I won't even use for my hunting ammo. Do some reading on double and single base powders. [/QUOTE]
