[QUOTE="coop2564, post: 1435205, member: 87214"] I finally got temps in 90's, 97 to be exact. Took the 6.5cm out. So its a Bergara HMR 22" barrel. Back in winter tested the RL 26 at 70 degrees i get 2863 using 47.3gr Nosler brass, CCI LR. Some reports of pressure spike when u get over 80 degrees had me worried. But i shot 20 rds at 500yds today. My avg velocity only changed too 2881. Which is right on with QL! Nothing crazy like some have said, at 97 it does put me right at sami on pressure, but had no sign over pressure. My group at 70 degrees was .4moa today with 20mph winds still was .7 moa. I plugged todays temp in my ballistic calculator which had my data from sight in @70 degrees and alliants recommended temp factor and dialed to 8.2 moa hit 6" plate every shot at 500yds even with 20mph wind. Being a hunter first, this powder gives me another 150yds of energy over most other powders. Gives me velocity and energy to hunt out to 900yds if the need was to arise. [/QUOTE]
