Can't you just work up a load in the heat? What am I missing? I wonder if the 153 A-Tips will even fully stabilize in the 1:8 CM? I see twists going faster and faster in the future...a bright future, I should say.

I think 8 twist will work with the 153 A-Tip and the 156 EOL Berger.

The Swede has long handled 160's and most of them are around 8 twist or so.

I'm not worried about RL-26 in extreme hot weather. When it's that hot, it's too hot for me to be out shooting. When I hunt, it's generally 30-60*. I've read than RL-26 isn't that temp sensitive in certain applications, it varies. Not the best, not the worst...
