[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 950884, member: 14209"] I'd consider using the Hodgdon powders, not necessarily for the temp issues, but I because I think you'd be better served with using a slower burning powder. The 4350 powders are too fast for a cartridge with such an over bore cartridge leaving a bit of unused case capacity left over. You normally want a case fill of 97% or higher with out compressing the charge. If you have to compress, the powder is too slow anyway. 4350, in a 6.5 or .264 caliber is best suited for a -06 sized case, a medium magnum case should have H4831, H1000, or Retumbo. I would choose Retumbo for it's velocity and lower pressure over H4350 even though it requires 10 more grains of powder. If you want to stick to a IMR powder 7828SC would be a good choice too, but I can't seem to find any data for it. I use Retumbo in my 7 STW and it is simply amazing in the heavy bullet weights. Hope this helps, Dano [/QUOTE]
