I use my 10x handloads down to 20 below zero on caribou and have good luck. I also use unique powder in my handgun loads when running my dog team in this weather. When I find powders that work well in my below zero runs with the dog team, I stick with em. I'm sure you'll find something that works for you.

Steelhead,
Maine smart : Geeze they used to pull us kids out of school to pick potatoes in the 80's. Called it agricultural leave, up to 2 weeks. Not too smart, aye?



No, Maine's voting record and pot smoking is the envy of the free world.
