1SOW nice work up. I will be interested as well with a temperature rise results. I would like to see it stay the same since it is closer to my data O0. I love that 7625.
You probably couldn't detect any difference in recoil compared with n320 dressed like the Michelin Man out there in those horrible conditions.

Well, you know that the ammo and gun must both be "cold soaked" before the testing begins to be accurate.

We'll need photos of icicles hanging off 1SOW before we can believe some of this data.  ;D

4 layers of upper clothing including the hoodie.   I didn't hang around to test for off-hand feel as I had no fingers that could feel anything. ;)
As a youngster, I played hockey,  ice fished, even made igloos enjoying winter.  NOT ANY MORE!

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good is that I fount some 7625 at my LGS, and the price was only $22.99/lb.

The Bad is that there were only 2 pounds there.

The Ugly is the embarrassing bag they put my powder in to take home.  I was worried someone would see me walking to the car.  I've got a reputation on the line, here!  Couldn't they have used a Kotex bag or something a little less embarrassing!?!

 :o  Now that's just cruel! >:(   But then again, they did give you a good price on the powder, so you might just have to let it slide.  ;)

The 7625 would have been embarrassed and then not perform as well. O0

I cleaned my pistol today getting ready for a steel shoot tomorrow.  It hadn't been cleaned in maybe three matches and several range sessions.
Most of the ammo shot was propelled by 7625.   I've settled on 4.5/4.5+ grs for 124/125 bullets.  The Shadow was noticeably more sooty (thick sooty in the chAmber, feed ramp and back to the trigger)  than with n320. 
Doesn't change my outlook on the powder,  but just passing on my findings.   

Another bad result ( :D):   I'm upping all my loads to a little higher PF to get the same sight-rise the 4.5 7625 load is giving.   My shooting improved.
Accuracy also improved on some of the bullets--especially the MG JHPs.

I'm not exactly following that statement.  Are you upping to 4.5, or going over 4.5... to 4.6 or 4.7 ??

I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
