[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2588781, member: 1521"] It's possible, if you loaded cases in a warm space [U]with[/U] high relative humidity(RH). But Ideally you would load in a comfortable 70degF air conditioned shop with ~40% or less RH. Martini shaken (not stirred) and dew point under ~50degF. If your powder holds the moisture content that it should, and you load in low humidity, there should be no movement of that moisture. Even if you drop the temperature of your ammo, it's still right there, in your powder. Like if your ammo is taken to -10degF, then all the moisture in that case is still held by the powder. The only way this might be different is if you purposely heated cases, and then suddenly cooled them so that moisture taken from the powder into air(while it was warm) could condense onto cold inner case walls.
