Does anyone see any reason why reloading rounds in a garage during the winter months (20-40F) would cause problems with the final product i.e. accuracy, velocity, etc.?

None

only if you're shivering enough that you can't read your scale or other tools

I'm doing it.

My concern is that I might get problems with condensation on the tools when the temp swing around 32 f / 0 C. But so far so good.

Get yourself a kerosene heater and set it in the opposite corner of your shop. Crack a window to achieve one square foot of open area. Or get one of those ceramic heaters. Reloading where it's cold is just no fun...

I think you should set up your reloading bench in your living room. If your wife complains, tell her to get back in the kitchen or go out to the garage.

This guy knows how to treat a women. My hero.

Mine is. I live alone...

I've noticed green corrosion on a few of my fired cases which initially raised the question...anyone else who loads in the garage have this problem?

Since I've moved to TN, I reload in my den.

A dining room is a good place to reload. It's close to the kitchen for your wife to fetch tea and sandwiches and if you have folks over, a nice table cloth will cover up the holes you drilled in the table to mount your stuff.
If you've no more than four guest, you can leave your press and such mounted and just eat around them.

Works for me! Between courses, you can have your guests help to prep the brass...

Load in a climate controlled location. Your equipment will rust otherwise.

I only run power trimmers in the garage.

the rust is a pain i just built an add on to my shop it is insulated and i will be putting a furnace in it . anybody know a way to get that surface rust off?

Kroil & #0000 steel wool

Keep your presses covered when not in use and it will cut down on the rust problems considerably. An old pillow case works good.

ive heard that you can install a couple ceiling fans and it will almost eliminate the moisture issues. im setup in my shed which is built off the ground on skids. i have yet to find anything signs of moisture. my dad just built a metal building on a slab parked the harley in it right after completion and it was soaked the next morning. he will be installing ceiling fans.

I depend on modern lubricants for protecting my metal equipment. I coat with either oil or grease by Tetra. The smaller pieces are coated with oil and heated in a toaster oven to improve absorption by the porous metal. Larger pieces have grease on a nylon brush scrubbed into them. So far, no issues.
