[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 471211, member: 704"] Ok give me some thoughts. First I think cool temperatures make powder burn at a lower rate. Barrels 22 inches long don't get advertised velocities, and they drop 100 to 200 fps from your handloads. I think when cold slows you powder a longer barrel will burn all of it. At 68° my 6.5x284 with a 140 VLD gives me 3036 fps. Today at 37° this morning I got 3036 average fps. In warm weather my 6.5 PRC and 6.5x284 are twins, but if it's cool the 26 inch barrel walks all over the 24 inch PRC. I can't believe I got the same velocity with the temperature change.
