Just picked up  a hundred new Starline 445 cases I want to load.  I seem to remember reading something somewhere about scaling back loads during high ambient temps.  Since we've been having a heat wave and some record highs, how sensitive are the 445s to temp?  I don't ever load max loads, usually run up the middle of the recommended loads.  Probablly using H110, maybe 2400.  Don't have my manual in front of me so I won't even guess at amounts of either. 

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

I have loaded around middle of the road with H-110 and been fine in all weather.  I would caution with H-110 at the top of the scale in high heat though.  IHMSA 80x80 may be more able to speak to this question with authority.  I recently have been loading this cartridge with AA-1680 more often than the H-110.
