[QUOTE="mikea5232, post: 1236500, member: 87416"] what primer are you using? 26-26.9g of varget are those two different loads you shot at those two temps? I've only loaded a little bit of 223. But ive noticed and maybe its just me. but the extreme powders seem to ignite a bit harder than others so a hotter primer might be needed. So if you are using a cooler burning primer it might be igniting the powder better when its warmer. So you would have a bigger velocity swing. Hotter primers worked much better in the .223 with varget for me. Never shot through the chrony so i can not verify speed. Just a thought anyway. [/QUOTE]
