Cold Weather Muzzleloader

I'm taking the muzzleloader out tomorrow morning and was curious about getting it loaded in cold weather. My gun is in the house, as is my bag with blackpowder pellets. Should I set everything outside (garage) to get cold and aclimate to the weather before loading it? I would also set out the pellets and bullets too. Was curious about this as I know at times condensation and other weird things can happen when swtiching from hot to cold to hot. I'm planning on leaving the gun in the truck overnight at the farm tonight and not brininging it into the warm until after I shoot it.

Thanks!!
 
I haven't seen a problem when loading a warm rifle then heading out to hunt.

The problem (IMO) is bringing a cold loaded ML into a heated area and having moisture condense on it.
