I do think it will be a good alternative powder still. My loads will see very little sub-freezing or 100+ for sure.I wonder on the variables in testing like this though, like dry vs wet environment, elevation, someone (may have been on another site, or YouTube) mentioned whether the rifle temp was the same as those rounds, would it have changed? Even though I’m new to reloading, I’m not new to metal and mechanics. I know that a cold engine, works differently than a hot one, the pistons, valves, etc., react differently when they are cold or hot. Same applies to anything mechanical, so I’d think, in this type testing, since you’d be at the range, hunting, or wherever, the ammo would work differently. Like say you are deer hunting in December, your rifle and the loaded ammo, will be the same temp, all your ammo has the same load, I know some who carry an extra round or 2 in their pockets, those would be alot warmer than the ones in the rifle, makes sense to me that if you put a warm round in a cold chamber it will react differently than the cold one right?</blockquote>
