[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2482984, member: 101791"] How many people really pay attention to temp. Some of us hunt weather that well over a hundred, and then hunt in weather that's -20 or even colder. I don't plan on packing a cooler around while hunting in the hill's or mountains, nor a warner in my pocket to keep my ammo warn. Most of the time my ammo that I am going to use is in my rifle is exposed to the weather while hunting in whatever weather. A few hundred yards it really doesn't make a great amount of different, but at extended ranges, what them? The other is I load at max pressures. I go until I have flatten primers in my cases and work around there for my loads and groups ES & ED's. Now if you are going out to 1000yds where are you then. If you want a slow boat to China that's find too. The faster you push that bullet the less problems you have with drop and wind provided they are grouping. There are several powder that don't like temp change. I do see people here that over pushed the loads, and wonder what happening. That's BAD! So are you going to walk around with a temp gauge, and determine the temp, or what ammo I am going to carry that day. Now where does the bullet hit @ 800yds. So I don't think it's that funny. I tried to make one shot one kill, it's doesn't work out that all the time, but generally petty close to that. I just want them aware of possible problems. [/QUOTE]
