Just one more observation: In my recent tests the Alliant Reloder powders have been better in cold than in the past. I suspect this came about when they had to make changes to RL-15 for military acceptance some years ago. 15 got a LOT better, and I suspect they applied that technology to the others as well--though the Hodgdon Extremes still test out as the best all-around powders for cold shooting in my trials.

Just got back from the range, I'd had the 338/06 and the ammo out in the garage (uninsulated) for the last 2 days.

It's been down in the 18-20 below range each morn I think, it's too darn cold to recall for sure or not.

To my point shot my load over the clock today and once again it ran @ 2855 fps. If you recall during Oct this load (same batch same can powder etc) ran @ 2910-2911 kind of range.

Bottom line, I know this is a small test but it would appear that it is fairly temp sensitive. The temp changed from almost 70 to anywhere from 6-20 below and yet it only lost 55-60 fps.

Not too bad I'd allow.

And on a side note, I ran some rounds thru my Mashburn, same deal as the other rifle. Same bullets, powder can, etc and in this rifle it didn't lose any speed. 7828 was the gas and a 150 NBT. Thought that was kind of interesting....maybe

Later gotta go and thaw out...grin

Ingwe, where were you, Sammers and I waited 4 you to show. Bet you'd of show'd if we'd of said we had the field of dream of rodents, and it was 70 degrees and the brew was coldish...grin

Well, it's been about -15 to -20 around here, lately. It's supposed to stay at around -25 for the next few days. Perfect coyote calling weather grin

Your 7828 did impressively well. You sure it's not Hodgdon extreme H7828? *grin*

Are you guys shooting over cold cronos? Does that make a difference? It was only 15 below when I woke this morning. I might do some cold weather shootin tomorrow if I have some time.

They cool off pretty darn quick with a little breeze!

You might want to bring an extra battery and keep it warmed up in your pocket.
