Has anyone compiled a list of temp sensitive powders?
ok, i was just checking to see. i also use mostly hodgdon powders & some IMR & also shy away form temp sensitive powders. the reason i ask, i'm starting a load workup with vihtavouri n570 & can't find a lot of info.
You can go directly to their website or customer service >>> https://www.vihtavuori.com/reloading-data/rifle-reloading/. They also have an apps >>> https://www.vihtavuori.com/resources/vihtavuori-reload-app/
I prefer the Hodgdon yearly magazine loading manual because they normally have the latest new cartridges. From there, I use the powder manufactures manual for the powder I intend to use.
Bullet manufactures tend to show their bullets perform better than others and often times lower the powder charge of their competition to make their powder look better.
All are very conservative because of different barrels, chambers and loading process. Just because a manual shows a load as Minimum doesn't mean It is in your rifle/pistol.

They have to make their baby look better than anything else if at all possible. marketing genius.Sierra is my first source and I find their accuracy loads to be on the money. Lyman is another good manual due to them not making bullets so there is no bias. I was disappointed with the new Hornady manual, they show the 6.5CM is faster than the
6.5-284 Norma.

No kidding! I have Berger and Hornady is all today, more for case diagrams than load data, great quick reference.Quick Load is irreplaceable for me
Not sure how much difference it makes but a custom Remington 24" 1:8" was used on 6.5 CM load testing while a custom T/C Encore 24" 1:9" for the 6.5-.284. The bottom line is that the end-user needs to synthesize the information being presented (as a safe guide) and formulate his or her "actual safe load development".
