My hunting is mostly done between 20-55 degrees...and RARELY do I shoot above 80 degrees. It just doesn't get that hot here, and when it does, I'm not shooting!
Just read in the new Handloader...

So, I guess the best answer is to do load work during the winter. As it never gets very hot in the summer up here I should be ok with temps at the up end of the spectrum.
Generally speaking, at what temp do the "temp sensitive" powders really start being affected? Specifically W760, H414, BL-C(2), etc...
I was sent some data on Re17 from a guy on another forum but wish Alliant had some of their own tested data for the RCM. When I emailed Alliant they sent me Hornday's data for the Re15!
If Re17...
Hodgdon's has data on their website and Hornady sent me some basic data when I emailed them.
Glad you recommended it! Always looking for resources and good people.
Just bought a Ruger .338 RCM and looking to see if anyone is loading for it. I have found limited data and am trying to find as much as I can before I get started.
