Can cold weather increase pressures?
I ask because I was recently shooting some loads that I developed early in the fall. I know they were on the hot side, but no definitive problems. Well, I was shooting them again; exact same load; exact same rifle, but this time I was puncturing about one out of eight or so of the primers. The only difference I can figure is that the weather was 30-40 degrees colder.
I think I am going to back off some on that load anyway, but still curious about what is going on.
