Just quickly, the last 10 minutes, from 50 minutes on, is probably of most interest with regard to powder brands with lowest temp sensitivity and small rifle primer versus large rifle primer cases. Certainly vindicates my decision to hoard later generation Alliant powder like 15, 16, 23 and 26 when it was cheap.
Earlier on they talk about the worst powders, basically any spherical ball type powders like Winchester along with some rather interesting data on pressure fluctuation from temperature variation.

Hey Duramax certainly is a good podcast, Ive only half watched but I use quite a bit of spherical balls powders and they produce great speed accuracy but big temp drops when things go below zero bring out the worst in variations LOL. Will watch more over the weekend when I get a chance :drinks:
