[QUOTE="Hawk in WY, post: 1260488, member: 70947"] Others posted before I got this together thinking I would be the first to reply. Some redundancy, but you might as well hear another voice. All powder is temperature sensitive to some extent. Lower velocity at lower temperatures. Some more so than others. The answer to your question depends to some extent on the powder you are using. In general developing a load at -20 and expecting to shoot at +60 is probably not a good idea. If you plan to shoot at -20 leave the gun and ammunition outside for awhile. If you plan to shoot from your truck, leave both in the truck. Interesting to observe bench rest shooters storing their ammunition in small coolers during matches on hot days. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
