[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 208867, member: 11717"] Yep, the premium bullets are a little spendy, but I figure once I have a load worked up and have developed the ability to shoot down range, I probably won't shoot more than a 100 rounds a year with those loads and get my trigger time in with other less expensive loads. I think Rock Chuck hunting will go a long way in helping my long range proficiency. I'm not an expert on powder but just recently learned that there is a difference between temp sensitive and temp stable powders. I've heard some powders can change bullet velocity up to 2 fps per degree of temperature and that's fairly significant. Not all powders are as temp sensitive as others. If you go to the Hodgdon site, you'll see they have a group of powders they call *Extreme Powders*. These are the temp stable powders. [/QUOTE]
