[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1059458, member: 52437"] Also if you find your rifles max load...and don't back off...then yes...in mid summer heat you could run into trouble. I don't think we would be talking a rifle blowing up but more likely a very sticky bolt lift or stuck case. I have not experienced this yet myself but had a similar post about this very issue and that was what I was told by members here. So...my advice would be either test in summer temps...and then varify point of impact change prior to hunting season OR develop your load in normal hunting temps and then do not shoot that load in the summer for safety reasons. I know a few people who actually developed two loads....one for summer plinking and one for hunting season. [/QUOTE]
