Load development in ambient temps of 95-105 degrees is a very slow laborious process for me. I usually manage 8-12 rounds/hour. If the barrel is too hot to keep my hand on it I get up and walk away. I'll visit with the RO, help other shooters with sight-in or equipment issues, or just look at the toys and talk with their owners.
