[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 439804, member: 2693"] Clark, do you think, given the graph, that Reloder 17 should be avoided for hunting situations? What I'm curious about is whether or not the same results would occur of the temp of the powder was heated up more slowly, say over several hours or days. Example: what would happen if the ammo was kept at a constant 40 degrees one day and fired, 50 degrees the next day and fired, etc. I wonder if the rapid temp change also affects the velocity with Re17. I'd hate to be hunting muleys in Colorado on a 5 day hunt where on day 1-2 temps were 25 degrees, day 3-4 were 50 degrees, etc and still have the dramatic velocity changes. I know of several guys who are streamlining their load benches to ONE brand of powder only for centerfire rifles and that would be the Hodgdon Extreme line. [/QUOTE]
