To me it is not much different than "caveat emptor" in regard to what one reads on the internet.
"Let the "reader" beware".
So, I reckon it is up to those who read this later to decide what info is worth saving & what info is not.
Up until now there has not been one instance of someone saying that they did perform load testing/ladder testing in cold weather to compare to warmer weather testing of the same sort. That does not mean I, or anyone else, should make the illogical assumption that just because no one has posted anything here, that it has not been done & so no one can say with any sort of reliability or authority what sort of results might be expected.
[Note- But there has been some anecdotal evidence offered about taking cooler loads to hot temps & resultant pressure signs. Not specific testing, but personal experiences to that effect if one wants to consider it.]
In regard to reading & accepting what is on the internet... I am not sure why anyone would question "my" ability to research any subject & weed out the "chaff from the wheat" as far as what is reliable info & what is not. When they don't even know me, or my background enough to come to such a conclusion. Seems a pretty far reach without more information. How does anyone know that I haven't done the testing, did not tell anyone yet, & am trying to see if my data matches up in any way with theirs? And this whole topic was generated to see if anyone else is competition before I publish my findings?
They don't know. They have to trust, if they choose to do so, that I am a sincere man & truly would like to know what experience anyone else has in this area. Otherwise, why even post or read the posts..??..
If there comes a point in time that I decide to do this sort of testing on my own, I will do it. Whether I share those results here will likely be determined by the type of positive answers & posts I get in this topic. If there seems to be no interest or little interest, then I see no reason to share it. Likewise, if someone else had asked for folks to share what they could about such a topic/subject & I had the experience, I would tend to share what I knew to help out.
If no one takes the time to share here, then what is the use of such a forum? Just coffee shop or barroom BS talk? It has been said by more than one , including me, that this forum has a lot of experience & is a great source of reference for firearms, reloading & cast & other not so common techniques. I could not have found a better place to ask what I have asked, IMO. If there is such a "database" about temperature sensitivities & powders & load testing in cold weather, I figured this would be a great place to ask about it. I did not expect to have any questions about the WHY i am questioning something & also be told that I should just accept that there is not reason to even think about it since no one talks about it... Nice job of trying to stifle more learning about things. If no one can come in and say, "That's been tested & found to not be worth the time" and can do so with some reliability & authority to back their opinion up, then it might be time to reconsider. Or, it might be time to take the testing a bit further...
Like I said, I am gonna keep asking the questions & see if I get any answer that apply to the questions. I am not likely to continue to answer questions about my questions & whether they are worth asking.
Either folks want to share some ideas & thoughts, some experiences, some sources of more information about this subject & all that, or they do not. Not much I can do about either, but I know that this topic has been sucking up words with not much coming out of it in regard to the subject & that in itself is a bummer.
Making something contentious when it need not be is kind of silly to me. Why anyone would care that I am interested in finding out more & they think it is a waste of time even take the time to post anyway. That has already proven to be a waste of time, hasn't it?
;)
So, back to the OP question(s), if there is anyone who has read this far & sorted out the "wheat from the chaff" in the topic...
