[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2899483, member: 101791"] No not in one shooting session. I wouldn't want to be there. I am thinking you are talking about a program instead of calculator. (right or wrong.) Where I became to temp powders was a great many years ago. I had a pat load that was doing 3400fps and almost a bug hole @ 100yds. That load was develop in the winter in Cal. Temp 50' or so. Then went on to other rifles. Came back to it in late June or early July. Temp was up at least 50'. Blew a primer out of the case. These load were hot, but no creators, or ejector marks. 5gr over book hot load. Change powders and haven't had a problem from that time on. the powder I am using the temp doesn't effect it very much. My SD were very low. I hadn't had much problem with that powder. I good to 500yds. I am not using a high end scope nor range finder. I knew where to hold at different yardage with whatever large game aninal I was hunting. I can range them with my scope and adjust to what is needed.to shoot. Looking to shoot varmints like ground squirrels and P. Dogs. Your load and shooting has to be better or you not going hit much. My brother and I had a rule on ground squirrels nothing under 200yds and we stopped at 400yds. No range finder either. Nothing was being built at that time. [/QUOTE]
