[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2858994, member: 66917"] It would be an interesting test to gather some velocity data at the higher and lower temps then compare the data. If the ES isn't really wild at normal hunting ranges ie. 0-300yards you would likely not notice and impact effects. I think most people that run into temp sensitivity issues are those that are using powder loads that are near or over pressure developed in cooler temps, then in higher temps they have pressure issues. Years ago my father, uncle and I ran into this with RL22 in a our 7mm STWs. We were running our velocities very high. Loads that were developed in winter would over pressure in heat of the Arizona summers. We never really studied the long-range impact issues. We would put our reloads in a little ice chest at the range to beat this issue in the heat of the AZ summers, crazy days. [/QUOTE]
