[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2965239, member: 75451"] I live in an area where we experience some moderate temperature swings, well below O F in winter to triple digit highs in summer. My powder isn't recognized as "temperature stable"…..so here's my method of working with it. I only do my load development on days are above 90F, allowing a few hours for the rifle and ammunition to achieve ambient temperature! This should provide a "near worst case scenario" for high pressures in summer high temperatures! Then pick a few different expected temperatures, monitoring group size and your velocities. Assuming that the groups don't go to heck with the temperature changes. This should give you an idea of how the scope should be adjusted, assuming it needs adjustment. Document these changes for future adjusts for temperature changes! Unless you experience some pretty extreme temperature swings on a hunt…..I think that this will keep you in pretty good shape! memtb [/QUOTE]
