Finalised the load last nite. Accurate and consistent at 2860fps. Had an ES over 6 rnds of 8fps which is pretty cool.

Went up just now as it is a hot day here. Left ammo out in sun for half an hour while I did some other stuff.
Got the rifle hot, firing 3 rnds I didnt have in the sun and they were still at 2860ish fps

Fired 3 rnds that were in the sun and they went 2900-2910fps but no pressure signs and still perfect zero. 50fps jump due to the sun
