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

Great to hear , l should of mentioned our guns sat in dash cradles in the blasting African heat & in the tropics of Australia the same but on quads or laying on the deck of Air Boats , in Arnhem Land & the Kimberley any metal work on the guns would burn your hand to touch,so a proven safe load in hot environments .

How did the load go for accuracy ? you can tell him he can have confidence in it as a proven African Plains Game taker.
