Powder choice and temperature

I'm going to start loading for the 9mm and am curious about the effect of temperature on different powders. I've had problems in the past loading long range rifle cartridges with certain powders and want to know which powders are least affected by change of temperature for use in 9mm. Thanks

I've had really good luck with tight group in the 9mm and .45. No issues noted.

For the most part, pistol rounds don't suffer from low temp. like rifle rounds. The powder is much faster & you are using a very small amount. I've chronographed down to 30deg or so & the vel. diff. is pretty nominal. Any of the fast to med. burn rate pwoders should be fine (ie, HP38, WST, or Unique & WSF run at the top end).
