[QUOTE="Longtine88, post: 2287665, member: 116240"] Probably so. Those are cold bores. So my reloading shop is 50' from my bench. So I can bring the gun in and cool it in front of the AC to get it close to the climate I will be hunting in or atleast not above 80 degrees. I shoot when it's over a 100 degree's here like you have. But the cold bore shots and cooling off the gun and ammo helps me plan ahead in summer and continue to shoot. The primers are just starting to kinda flatten at that load but that's it. I tend to stay to the higher side ususally. I just hunt with my rifles. So I can custom load them to how I hunt. N565, RL26, H1000 all pressured out before I got to 3,040. So I went with N560 that I use in others. Even use it in a 7saum. Love the powder. I know people wont use the V powders because of the corrosiveness especially the 500 series but again it's a hunting rifle. It will get shot maybe 20 times a year on average after I find it's load. The best node landed in 3 powder charges on it. Starting at 58.7, 59.0 and 59.3. In three shots on all of them there was not but 16 fps difference so I landed in the middle. Those three were the most accurate when I played up and down with the powder charges. As a matter of fact all 9 shots on those charges you could have covered up with a dime. I'll be shooting it out to 1000 yards Saturday if the wind cooperates and I'll report my findings after that here. No can. I do use a can on a 22" GAP that i get 3,001 fps with a can though. [/QUOTE]
