[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1509087, member: 54178"] [B]Dog Rocke[/B]t, You are correct about temperature affecting burn rate and therefore velocity. BUT, there are now powders like H4350 that are fairly temperature tolerant so that factor will be greatly mitigated when compared to an old powder like WW II era 4895. As far as I know even an excellent ballistic calculator/weather station like the Kestrel 5700 Elite will not correct for this factor. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
