[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1312923, member: 105"] I didn't read this whole thread but I'll take exception to one statement quoted from Berger in the first post in this thread. "berger will tell you most powders can be developed into a good load and all powders are temperature sensitive." My testing with Varget and Reloder 15 a few years ago at both 90 degrees and another day at 34 degrees with the barrel being cooled several minutes between each shot and no rounds left in the chamber until just before it was shot yielded a little over 100fps difference with Reloder 15 and right at 20fps difference with Varget. The rifle was a 20" barreled Model Seven in 308 Winchester and the bullet used was a 150gr Nosler Partition. There is a LOT of voodoo and a lot of good information floating around about load development and this thread is full of good information. I wish I had the time to chase the "perfect load" like I used to have. <sigh> [/QUOTE]
