[QUOTE="MajorSpittle, post: 1333371, member: 53101"] Thanks for all the great info. I will stick some round in the cooler next time I hit the range. I have an IR temp gun so I can hopefully get them right around 40 degrees and some relevant data for hunting season. I will also need to pay attention to not cooking rounds in the chamber while testing loads. I always try to minimize the time they spend in the chamber but I know while it was hot out my barrel was too hot to hold at the end of a 10 round string. I am sure the rounds at the end had to been heated to over 140 degrees after sitting in the chamber 20 seconds. I guess that is the next thing I need to do, chamber a round in the hot rifle for 20 seconds, unload the round and check its temperature. [/QUOTE]
