[QUOTE="Stugots, post: 2780402, member: 87335"] My (close) experience involved .223 - 53gr loads. I worked up an accurate load earlier in the spring of that year and everything was fine through the morning shooting P. Dogs (while the temps were a relatively cooler). Things went very south around 2:30PM that day when temps rose up into the mid 80's. After a quite a few rounds on one of my AR15's I had a round go off that ejected the mag, warped and locked up the upper receiver/BCG. After I got home from the trip I took the upper down to the work bench and ended up beating on the BCG with a BFH to dis-lodge the bolt carrier group. Scrapped the BCG and the upper and reduced the powder charge. No problems since then. LIVE and learn... :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
