How does that load perform in below freezing weather? The 19 gr Red Dot load with 1 1/8 ounce lead tested at 6700 psi, Green Dot being a slower powder with 1 ounce would likely have considerably lower pressure.

To be honest I dunno . I used it one day for quail in December but the temp was high 30’s low 40’s . But it seemed to do okay .
