Thx AJ-this is just me and not trying to rebuke or anything but if the bolts a bit stiff in cold weather then it's a safe bet that as it warms up it's definately gonna be hot.

Reducing it by 1/2 grain to me would mean something in a small case like a 223 or 17 Rem but in a big jug like the 300 Wby it's not gonna be enough. I'd say something along the lines of 1-2 grains was more along the lines of what was needed but that's just a swag.

Thx for the nice discussion.
