I agree 100% I've used double based powders like W760 & W748 for the last 25 years in all types of weather and never had a problem. In my opinion, the only time you'll ever have issues is if you left your ammo on the dashboard on a hot summers day. But nobody in their right mind does that anyway.




I agree and H414/W760 is a great powder in the 7x57 with 140-160's. I have shot so much game with this rifle/powder combination that I wouldn't even guess how many, temperature sensitivity doesn't worry me much, it's a hunting rifle, not a 1000 yard match gun.I just work up a load when it's 100, so I know it's safe, then hunt with it.
