Interesting question. Any oxygen within the cartridge is immediately consumed upon firing, so I do not think it would affect loading data. As stated, gunpowder is nitrated, and provides its own oxygen as it burns under pressure, and since it is isolated from the environment it should be unaffected by availability of O2 in the atmosphere.
