[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2483098, member: 87243"] Here in Wyoming, about the hottest I ever see during season is 80-85 tops, and that is pretty much exclusively pronghorn......and for them, the rifle likely comes out of the air conditioned truck and takes a shot within a 15 minutes, often times within 5, so it's not too big a deal. About the coldest I have shot a pronghorn is 55ish? Deer and elk range from teens/20's up to maybe 70-75. I usually use a powder that is not temp sensitive, but a couple of my guns like other powders, and I also test. In the Temps I hunt in, RL26 gave my .15 fps/degree from 15 up to 67 degrees in my .260ai........that is on par with H1000. It often varies from one cartridge to another. Bottom line, either load well under, or better yet, check the difference in your particular gun, with any powders. Even the insensitive ones can vary with temp, just less. Information is power.
