[QUOTE="BrianID, post: 2482996, member: 104589"] The important thing is to understand the limits of what you shoot in your rifle. I would agree that temperature sensitive isn’t a big factor for most hunting situations. I used IMR 4350 for one of my hunting loads last fall because I have plenty and knew it wouldn’t be a limiting factor for that rifle/bullet combo. The mule deer I shot with that load at about 100 yards didn’t seem to notice that I used IMR 4350 instead of my more limited H4350. Temperature sensitivity is a lower priority for me when I’m loading for a rifle I don’t plan on shooting more than 400-500 yards. If I’m shooting 1000 yards with IMR 4350 vs H4350, there will be enough of a difference between zero degrees and 60 degrees to cause me concern. It become much more of a concern when it is really hot around 90 degrees. Wind is still my biggest challenge for shooting long range and is much more of a limiting factor than temp stability of the powder I’m using. [/QUOTE]
