Great write-up!

I got my 35P about '92 when I was shooting about 6 days a week. I was curious mainly to determine effects of altitude and temperature on established loads. I developed and shot at sea level with range temperatures around 80 or higher, yet all my hunting was in Montana and Wyoming, mostly late season when the temperatures were at freezing and many times near zero. Learned a lot, but mainly that at most reasonable ranges, under 300 yards, 300fps through a 338 Win Mag, didn't make much difference for a clean kill. But that started my quest for temperature tolerant propellants, which led me away from my beloved RL22. I hauled my chronograph to my hunting areas and fired over it in those low temperatures several times to settle on other propellants. Never had a moments problem with my 35P.
