    The temp difference doesnt have to be that great. Some of the pieces Ive read suggest that the slighltly higher velocities offered by some powders is more than offset by their temperature sensitivity in long range shooting. Not to mention increased barrel wear. So 20deg C air and 45Deg C sun / temp of the bullet is noticable, even taking a 20Deg C bullet and inserting it in a hot barrel is enough. Now I have not tested this myself yet I admit but enough palma/ftr ppl have said or written this for me to take heed and stick to ADI 2208/varget for what I do.

    So the Q is is 2225 giving you something you just cant do without?
