[QUOTE="rcdinaz, post: 547172, member: 31581"] Awesome gun! gun) I agree with WildRose try the H1000. I have been using Retumbo in a 300RUM and 7mm Dakota this summer and just tried H1000 in those guns and the ES and groups both shrunk. I spent quite a few days at the range this summer when it was 112 - 118 and the H1000 was more stable than the Retumbo, in some powder charges the ES was very large with Retumbo in the heat. Another thing is the heat you described should actually make the velocities higher so be sure to shoot when it is cooler. You did not mention if you saw any signs of pressure but if you haven't seen any signs I dont see why you cant test up to the max load, the pressures would actually be lower in the high heat. In the 300 RUM the difference from some of my range days to shooting in the mountains where it is cooler and there is elevation had a MV decrease as much as ~10%. Just some things to think about.
