[QUOTE="cajun, post: 1899108, member: 9772"] Powder temperature stability is not a marketing gimmick its a factor of the chemical composition of each propellant. Some are better than others. Notably varget and H4350 are very stable through normal temperature ranges. With the interest in long range shooting where velocity spread does matter powder makers began using this in their marketing pitch. Alliant even came out with r23,26 which are new formulas to reduce the sensitivity normally seen in their reloader powders. Granted the average joe shooting critters inside 200 yds will not usually have issues even with the more intolerant powders. long range shooters and competitors will. Hence the popularity of varget in competition circles. As others have mentioned in can be a safety issue if you do your load development in cold weather. [/QUOTE]
