Temperature Insensitive Powders for Hunting up North

Northern Canada is a big place. Where and when matters. And 30F isn't cold. Plus you'll be checking your sight in when you get wherever you're going anyway. The velocity isn't as important as the accuracy.
You should water seal the inside of the stock, if it's wood. Any wood sealer will do. No lube at all if the temperature is below freezing. That depends on where you're going.
"...IMR 4353..." IMR4350? That'll do. Been using it in .243 for eons. IMR4064 and either 4895 will do as well.
 
My load development for my 7mm-08AI was conducted in 80 degree F weather.

Doe shot at 413 yards, another 1000 ft. elevation, and 18 degrees F.

Sight in, and go hunting.

Sometimes we just take this chit too far, and worry about more than we need to. KISS !!!
