[QUOTE="sourdough44, post: 977656, member: 16114"] Hodgdon does marked the temp stability with the 'Extreme' powders. I think there is something to it compared to some other powders. After reading a handful of articles in 'Reloader Magazine' and others, some powders definitely change with temps. Some of this can be more an issue for the warm weather varmint hunter or target shooter. For the average big game hunter I think it's much less of an issue. One exception may be if doing work-ups in the heat of the Summer. Beyond that most hunting is done in cool to cold temps. It's also another reason to leave some margin at the top of the powder charge. You could have loads developed in the cold that may be a little much at hot temps. It's something to keep in mind, but I wouldn't dwell on the issue. Reloader 15 is often mentioned as being temp sensitive, but it's still a great powder with a strong following. Then many have moved on to Varget in that burn area, or others. [/QUOTE]
