[QUOTE="Aldon, post: 691784, member: 20047"] All powders have some sensitivity to temperatures. The difference is some are less impacted than others. I have had significant impact while using Alliant powder. The worst was RL17. They do produce great velocities and accuracy. I will only use to work up target practice loads where I know temperature deltas over the few months will not cause me POI changes. For my hunting load in one of my favored rifles the accuracy node was at the top of the pressure curve when temperatures were low. But when the temperature warmed by 40-50 degrees, POI changed considerably and I had stiff bolt. The areas I hunt are prone to these changes occasionally in the same day. I have switched to more stable Hodgdon extreme powders and historically temperature stable IMR offerings for hunting. [/QUOTE]
