I'm going to look for some PP2000 tomorrow.

I have tested PP2000 recently and chose it as my load for my 105gr Berger VLD Targets and Hunters.

I did a velocity test...ish with the VLD Targets. I set one mag of 5 in a freezer (30-32°F) for about 5 hours and the other sat on the dash for about an hour while on a 99°F day. I grabbed the one on the dash and it was rather painful to grab, but no burn marks at all. The hot mag shot 2565 fps with a 0.45" group (SD 11). The cold mag shot 2475 fps with a 1.72" group (SD 35) and did not cycle the gun well. Control was from a 92°F day with a velocity of 2551 fps and a group of 0.70" (SD 10) and I pulled the shot that made it 0.70".

No exact temperature data, but it was still interesting none-the-less.
The moment you've got it figured, you're wrong.
