.308 Winchester

😵‍💫 I don't live in Arizona, but spent a summer in Tuson.
So temperature sensitivity never bothered me here. It's a none issue.
The temperature won't change 20° by the time I load them to the time I shoot them most days.
And temperature is adjustable here 10,000 ft elevation just 60 miles away...in 30 miles the temperature usually drops 10 to 12 degrees in the summer. So I don't shoot in 90 plus temperatures. And always shoot in a stand of trees shaded and comfortable.
I shoot mostly in a 30 degree span summer to winter, 55 to 85 degrees, and don't go in extreme temperature conditions which are rare.
Summer time in the Phoenix area, low temperatures often don't fall below 90°F (elevation here between 800 to 1700 feet, and Density Altitude around 150 to 400 ft.). Getting out in early morning to shoot in 90° and the temperature moves up from there quickly. Other times of the year, in a single morning is can easily move from 65° to 90°. The higher temperatures really slows down the rate of fire when target shooting. 😵‍💫 Traveling to hunt can be end up at 7,000 - 8000 ft. in much cooler conditions, which can make it a little challenging to develop a really good load at ranges in the Phoenix area before heading out.

Snow beaners are truly idiots…

Well, I'm not really sure what to say here. I've been to the rallies, even took (sp?) my MIL to the last one that was here about 2 weeks ago. She'd never actually seen one before, and was quite impressed. She was less than 20 feet from Pierre when he was speaking, and she couldn't believe how fired up the crowd was.

There were (some thousand) people in that standing-room-only venue, and all of the logical, realistic, and responsible things that he was saying were simply "honest and decent" both in stance and objective.

The media though, they downplay the even on the corner of the 18th page, and make comments about "how Pierre isn't 'this' or doesn't do 'that'" while they play their Crackpot on the front page, and "oh how wonderful he is, and butterflies 'n unicorns..."

So, while I personally don't know what the outcome of this latest Federal Ballot is going to be, I can actually tell you what a HELL of a lot of Canadians WANT it to be. And it's not what the media is telling the country.

But that media is being paid by the gov't at hand, to tell you what the gov't at hand want you to think.

One of the first things the Conservatives want to do, is abolish the cbc.
Truly wishing you luck, gonna need it.

A few things
I find your finding interesting
So I looked into hybrid cases on line. I instantly saw Bartlein won’t sell or warranty a barrel for this use. That is a huge red flag for me. Bartlien tends to be on cutting edge of barrel technology

Varget in 308 is not a short barrel powder. It’s best in 22-30” bolt guns
H4895 works better in short barrels
I have used a bunch of H4450 in 308 and just can’t get enough powder in case to get velocities to make it competitive

I wonder why no one in F TR is using a hybrid cases in competition?
I think one has to keep in mind the objective behind the development of the hybrid cases . . . that being for short barrel lightweight guns to deliver the energy on the target that larger guns can produce.
