Yesterday it finally came in the mail, 2000 shiny 124gn 9mm bullets. Today I was planning on doing a workup of a couple loads and shooting them to see how they do, but the weather is pretty atypical out here today. 58 and rainy in Arizona.

So here goes my question, will the loads I work on today behave very differently on a dry 110 degree summer day? And will it be drastic enough to care about if I am not loading up to max loads? My copy of Modern Reloading shows a starting load of 5.4gn and max load of 6.2 for True Blue with 124gn jacketed bullets, and I was planning on trying out 5.2 and 5.6 grains today.
