[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2271958, member: 61747"] Couple weeks ago my buddy had to beat his bolt open on a 6.5 creed. H4350 is all he uses and been running the same load for several years. His ranch is at 5500 feet and rarely seen 90 plus temps. That day it was 95. Wednesday we were shooting, it was 80. Same load, no problems but his primers looked a bit rough. It cycles and speed is a little high. I have the exact same issue with h1000 and retumbo in a 6.5-284. I learned a while ago that winter loads running on the hot side are a gamble. There is no powder that is not affected but some are more affected than others. I have added it up and have shot 750000 grains of rl26 with an average of 50 grains per case (all cases i use it in averaged) which is 107 lbs. I had a pile of 8 lb jugs all over the shop I was hoarding for some reason. Wife said I needed therapy. Did I have an issue with RL26, yep, did I back off a hot as heck charge, yep. I ran my 22" PRC with a 156 at 2910, a 135 at 3100, and a 143 at 3040. Those seem to be solid numbers for the cartridge from what I can tell, meaning not overly hot or but not a light load. I check data during the winter and summer since I shoot and hunt all year for predators. I get very little fps and sd differences and enjoy the upper level fps for the cartridges it seems. [/QUOTE]
