[QUOTE="Shoalwater, post: 1790878, member: 65420"] So, I’ve had my 6.5SS for almost a year and have not had a chance to even fire form brass yet. Life has been in the way, new house build, work, kids sports, etc. have just all been crazy this year. I am finally getting around to setting up my reloading equipment in the new house and plan to start fire forming and load development in the next few weeks. my question is on powder temp stability. I live in south Texas, so it’s hot most of the year, I’ve read quite a bit, that RL26 and N565 start to really pressure up when temps get in the mid 80’s and up, which is most of the year here. My concern is, if I develop a load now, temps in the 50’s and 60’ most days, am I going to be in trouble in a few months when we start getting back in the 80’s and 90’s, and 100’s shortly after? I built this rifle specifically for long range hunting, mainly deer, but will take it Elk hunting in 2021 as well. Also, plan is to run 156 Berger’s pretty much exclusively. Rifle specs are Curtis Custom Axiom Hybrid Action Trigger Tech Special Proof Sendero Lite 24” Manners EH1 with Curtis DBM and Alpha Mag Still deciding on scope, but threw one of my Vortex PST 3-15’s on it for now. Trying to find a light weight FFP scope in 3-15/4-16 range is pretty dang tough. Was going to try a March, but got scared when US support went away. [/QUOTE]
