[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1321247, member: 64108"] I do enough hot weather shooting that I need a hot weather load. Two years ago it was 87F on a Wyoming elk hunt at 7,000' in late October, not the norm but it happened so we need to be prepared. I thought the Sig Kilo 2400 AB has some function for powder temp/speed adjustment but I've been too busy to take it out of the box let alone read the instructions. I have Andy's video to watch haven't gotten around to watching it. As far as barrel temp goes I use a rechargeable air mattress pump with a variable speed control to cool the barrel off as it takes forever when it's this hot. All ammo is at ambient temp and I'm out there for half the day plinking with other rifles while things cool. I will probably drop this load down to ~92.0 grains so I'm not over max when it's hot then go from there. Or have a hot and cold weather gun. Or i guess I could just have two different load profiles for the Kilo 2400 if they are that different. Perhaps somebody who is in the Kilo know can comment. [/QUOTE]
