Hollow point issues

[Alan]

I'm curious if anyone has run into reliability issues with hollow-point ammo when the temperatures fall below freezing.

I’ve been thinking about this. Do you mean feeding reliability, or expansion reliability? Either is a good question.

As far as feeding reliability goes, no I haven’t seen a difference.
Expansion- Its been so long since I’ve shot anything that could cause expansion the bullets used wouldn’t be available now.

No. Powders are not as temperature sensitive as they once were. I haven’t experienced feeding issues. I usually hunt with soft points.

Consider that the bullet is hot when it leaves the barrel and the difference in external temp between winter and summer is 100 degrees or less. There's just not enough of a temp difference to really matter.
