That is true and that is why I felt the need to test the RST Falcon Ultralites in cold weather. I was surprised to experience no off sound or off performance shells in a round of skeet with 20 degree shells in 20 degree weather. I would be the last to think that the sound would be as uniform at zero degrees, but I don't think I would be shooting these loads at zero. Many other RST loads are of somewhat higher pressure and still safe for good Damascus guns. If anyone is interested in the pressure testing of any particular load listed on the price list, call or email Alex Papp and he will look it up for you.
