[QUOTE="theosmithjr, post: 1577473, member: 102164"] Your comments are well taken sir. However in my opinion and for safety sake, I stand by my words! Example; my 6-284 uses 50grs. of Hogdon 4831 to send the Sierra 107gr. HPBT Match bullet outta the muzzle at 3,333 - 3,335fps. This load was developed in 90 degree weather. Therefore it is SAFE in ANY WEATHER. Using the RULE of THUMB that you gain 1 fps or lose 1 fps with the rise or fall of temperatures from the temperature the load was developed at. There are EXCEPTIONS TO EVERY RULE! In your case sir, the temperatures you described are EXTREME. From SUMMER temperatures developement of the load to -20 & -40 degree weather is EXTREME in any case! In your case sir, that reflects a deviation in Velocity of 90 to 130 fps. Not to mention CHAMBER PRESSURES. The burn rate of the powder NEVER CHANGES; however using a Stick of Dynamite to ignite what ONLY REQUIRES a Firecracker is SERIOUS & UNSAFE OVERKILL! You've obviously loaded and fired these altered loads without incident or injury. THANK GOD! And you obviously live, load, shoot & hunt in an EXTREME ENVIOREMENT with EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES! Its worked for YOU, SO FAR; however the RULES of SAFE, CONSISTANT HANDLOADING DICTATE OTHERWISE!
