Mike shows us how temperature stable powder makes a difference in muzzle velocity in extreme conditions.

Great information. Appreciate the demonstration. Thanks

Wow... great ES/SD with those Hodgdon loads... IMO for hunting, you absolutely HAVE to use one of the Extreme line, if it's applicable for that load... Great video.

Good sir

I'm more impressed with the consistency. But, learned something about temperature. thanks

Varget is a very good powder when temperatures climb above 90 degree f and below 32 degree f in Texas For best results...try different powders and loads in YOUR personal firearm

love the editing of the 5 shots. What bullets are those?

hot powder should not be faster than the cold one.?

And why would we shoot at a deer 900 yards away?

Absolutely!!

Hodgdon is good. What about Reloader 25? Is that pretty good?

Steven Hulse The old Reloder powders are some of the most UNSTABLE powders in existence. But the new ones (16, 23, 26 to name a few) are some of the most STABLE ever made. Two extreme ends, ha ha.

Ok nice but what POWDERS did u use. That way we can know why there was a difference.

+raider6511 ADI powders are very stable in varying temperatures. They are rebranded to Hogden.

One of the most important figures you didn't mention was that hot powder doesn't increase pressure it actually lowers pressure. Interesting because if you ask anyone they will all say that high temperatures increase pressure. I read an article by a guy who shoots prairie dogs during summer and he increases his powder 10% to overcome the decrease in pressure.

That doesnt go hand in hand with physics. Funny that everybody else I've talked to have decreased powder charges by a few tenths during hot summers because they find they have pressure signs with hot loads developed for -20 centigrade. With hot ammo, your peak pressure spike will be higher due to quicker powder burn.

You must have been in the sun too long - you say there's an ES of 74fps for the "cold unstable powder" (4:38)? Looking at your data (2:54) show 17fps (2,765...2,748).

I think you’re the one who’s been in the sun too long. The average difference between the hot and cold temperature loads with the unstable powder was 74 FPS, and that’s what he said.

This does not make any sense. With the stable powder, why are you getting more velocity out of the cold rounds than hot rounds. Unless you are manipulating the results and adding more powder to the cold ones. Its basic physics. No matter how good the powder is, you should get lower velocities from cold rounds. With temperature stable powders just not as much. Also your mule deer example was idiotic. If you are shooting deer out to 900 yards please hand over your hunting license to the authorities.
