Over 100 deg= no so good groups breech seat

Been pretty hot this last few weeks. my morning groups are usually pretty darn good but a couple times have went out after work over a 100ﾟ and even adjusting my powder charges just cannot seem to get the groups anywhere near as good. I have even changed bullet lubes to a firmer consistency.

Am I the only one? What's the magic solution?

100 degrees sure doesn’t enhance the capabilities of my body.

Magic solution? YES! Don't shoot when it's 100 degrees! Grin

100 degree weather = beer drinking weather, not shooting weather.

I have to chime in here, lower your expectations when the temps exceed 100°F or drop below 0° F .  The therapy is still good and when you can produce a respectable group -- wear that badge with honor.  Wink   
I get gigged if I go out shooting when the weather isn't ideal - I'll add breezy conditions to that also... 30 mph + but my response is "beats the heck out of fishin' " (or work). Grin
