"IF" I want extreme low pressure I shoot "BLACK" . With smokeless I try to stay above 7K & then only with fast to medium burn powders. For medium slow to slow I don't go below 8K, but my loading was always for hunting purposes, not targets.
For warm weather use only you can get away with some lower pressure than might be encountered in hunting loads. Within these parameters I have found Green Diot to be a very Desirable powder. I lost all confidence in low pressure 7625 loads in a duck swamp with temps in the 20's & this with a load taken directly from DuPont's manual with pressure around 7K. Green Dot works fine at this pressure range. Most powders with a Nitro Glycerin content will I believe burn Hotter than will a single base powder which personally I deem to be a good thing in cold weather.
