There are may types of ceramic capacitors. Those with the higher values
also have higher temperature dependence up to the amounts you have seen.
Only through using NPO type can you expect the values to be stable with
temperature. Look at the Murata/Erie web sites to get info.

or is this typical - I tried other similar caps and some

I did a statistical sample and not all 100 caps did this, although
92 out of

went out of spec. (grm42-6z5u473m050 /// this

any ideas?
