[QUOTE="Texis, post: 2394513, member: 121376"] I shoot the gun a fair amount. It’s was my range/hunting rifle in 308.. I’m swapping the barrel to 7-08, be the same scenario. Probably 600-800 rounds per year. A lot in 85-90 degree temps. We don’t walk or stalk where I hunt, too much ground to cover looking for critters, we ride 4 wheelers typically until we locate a suitable live target. Consequently I don’t mind hunting with a 12+ lb rifle because the bike carriers it not me. I have never had the opportunity to validate DOPE at 600+ with various powders in colder weather, so I’m a bit shy using non temp stable powders for hunting rounds., But you may well have a point about it being overrated. I don’t know? My loads are never at max. I typically find a nice flat node in a ladder long before primers start popping out. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
