cartriges loaded in a cold reloading shed
« on: February 08, 2009, 05:13:30 AM »
My reloading shed is 40 degrees I'm using varget to reload some 22-250. 34gr under a 55gr bullet will these cartridges be safe this summer when the temperature gets around the mid 90's. Thanks guys

Yup so long as your scale is reading correctly in the cold temps and your numb fingers don't mess them up. Varget is one of the Extreme line of powders and is relatively insensitive to temperature.

Thank you graybeard for the help. My reloading teacher passed away 5 years back and most of my friends couldn't tell me what I needed to know. I have been reloading for 15 years but I still like to ask questions from experienced re loaders. Better safe than sorry. Thank you

Your good , by looking up the load on Hodgdon's web site your right at starting load for the 55 grain bullet and Varget , so even if it wasn't one of their Extream powders you would not have a problem with heat causing the pressure to rise above safe levels .
