THe load was 3.8 grains of W231. The cold weather also may have reduced the ability of the charge to get the bullet down the barrel.

I'm sorry, Swamp Yankee, but that was a round without powder. Cold can, indeed, affect powder performance, but not to that degree.

I strongly recommend that you get a good reloading manual, some loads that are recommended on the internet may not be safe in your gun.

sheepman speaks the truth! Bullet type and weight can make a significant difference in minimum and maximum powder charges. Think of the few extra dollars and time spent reading the manual as a means of preventing firearm, fingers, and eye losses.
