[QUOTE="azmetalman, post: 797248, member: 47027"] Check out this information from Hodgon. [COLOR=Blue]http://www.hodgdon.com/smokeless/extreme/page3.php#top[/COLOR] azsugarbear hit the nail on the head. AZ is a land of extremes both in temperature and elevation. When temps reach 90 deg. I put my selected loads in a small lunch cooler with a couple of blue ice packs or frozen water bottles when I head for the range. I put a couple of layers of bath towel material between the cartridges and the ice packs. I take out 1 cartridge at a time and only when the barrel/action has cooled to my liking. This has worked well for me. I won't test loads when temps reach 100+. This means shooting very early and not for very long during the summer. For what it is worth it works for me. RL22 and H4831sc are my mainstays for powder in the .270 and 30 cals. Always remember that what works for one rifle may not hold true in another or at least to the same degree. [/QUOTE]
