No, not around here, I build and hunt the loads in cooler weather, plus the little stub of a bullet doesnt have a high enough BC for any serious long range work, hence not much concern on a temp stable powder.
I have also got very nice speeds and accuracy with Retumbo in this set-up.

Had my Ruger Target model punched out recently. 26 inch barrel. I started at 56gr IMR4831 with a 115NBT and worked up in 0.3 grain increments. At 58.1gr saw slight pressure signs at 3436fps. I think it's going to be a fun round.
My shooting partner had his 24 inch Sako custom punched out at the same time. We tested the same rounds in his rifle and found pressure at the same powder charge at 3367fps.
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.
