I've only had one incident where I developed a load in cold weather and it proved to be over pressure in hot weather. It was a 223 load using Winchester ball powder. Mostly I use the Hodgdon extreme powders that are not near as temp sensitive. Just be mindful of what you have and always be on the lookout for high pressure.
