I would think the same is true with pistol ammo.....?
I have noticed a difference in some of my pistol loads over the chrony. Also noticed a falling poi and lighter recoil with certain loads in very cold weather. Especially in lower pressure cartridges. Hot days I like to keep my ammo in a cool place. Never noticed anything I would consider dangerous though.
