I'm not sure if I'm posting in the correct forum. I have put my shooting on hold because of if being so hot. We have had a string of 90 degree temperatures with high humidity. Not only do I not like it for comfort reasons, I just don't believe it does any good when you are testing reloads. Especially, if you are going to be hunting in late fall, early winter when the temperatures are going to be cooler. I think that when you are shooting in high heat that your barrel gets that much hotter and much more difficult to cool back down in between shots. Not sure if the ammo heats up to. I'm not an expert on powder burning characteristics, but I do believe it burns differently under different temperature conditions. Not sure how much truth there is in it but, I've heard of benchrest shooters keeping their ammo in coolers until they are ready to use it. Sure am looking forward to cooler temperatures so that I can resume my shooting. Maybe I need to shift focus to shooting my handguns.
