[QUOTE="6point5x284, post: 1279717, member: 66669"] I ran R33 in a Win Mag for a long time hunting in MT. Load develop and shooting rocks, etc... all summer long can have temps at or over 100. I once hunted in 56 below zero with the wind chill. The velocities absolutely change. While Ryan mentioned it's not a huge drop at 1,000 in a 28 Nosler, keep in mind your accuracy node. In a 100 degree F to even 0 degree F example, it can drop easily 35 fps or more, and in some rifles that bumps you out of your accuracy node. Some nodes are good across a 50 fps band, some more, and some less. I finally had to stop using it as it shot great when very cold and a slower velocity, and shot horrible when above 70 or so as velocity increase pushed it out of it's accuracy node. I switched to H1000 (in my Win Mag) and have been much happier for a true hunting rifle. Im sure this matters a lot to some based off how/where/when you shoot, and not so much to others. But keep in mind your accuracy node. I always hear people say well it's only 25fps. Than can be a big deal if it makes your gun open up from .5 MOA to 1.5 MOA as was the case for me. [/QUOTE]
