[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1092091, member: 5219"] I have to shoot in hot weather or I don't get to shoot as often as I like. Tucson is quite warm most of the year. I have several hunting rifles that had their loads developed for the conditions we will see during the cooler hunts. I don't shoot them during the hotter months. I have other rifles that I shoot year round to have fun and get in practice. Using powders that are insensitive to heat helps. The best I have used are Varget and IMR 8208 BR. 8208 is a newer powder and my 6BR and 308 just love that powder. An alternative is to make summer loads. Start low and work up for accuracy. Those bench rest guys often load for the day. [/QUOTE]
