[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1726984, member: 104268"] [SIZE=14px][/SIZE] Loads should calm down as temp decreases, but there are many variables that induce higher than normal pressures. It's for sure smarter to develop high end loads in hot weather than cold. If you're confidant in your pressure reading, and understand the consequences of "hot rod", you won't be in much danger. Running a bit over max will not result in shrapnel. There's just considerably less room for errors and/or "bad luck". At the "toasty" levels you're describing, I'd plan to continually monitor pressure, even after I settled on a good load. Don't get complacent and load up a bunch and forget about it. [/QUOTE]
