Thread: Test load temps

Hi all, I'm out to do some more load development tomorow.

I have read allot about preassure spikes with warm loads and being winter I was thinking of warming up my loads in a chilly bin with a hot water bottle to try to simulate summer which is when I do most of my shooting (I enjoy thos long summer days spotting and destroying hares).

What sort of temp would you guys be aiming for? I did a bit of googling and found measured temps in sumer are all over the place some as high as 42 down south, we don't get that high up here but we probably see mid to low 30s occasionally, this would be in direct sunlight mid day. Would you recomend warming the loads that much or just work on more of an average temp of like 25 ?

What sort of temps do you do most of your load development at?

Cheers all.
