Hello all…I do my reloading in my garage and living in Texas it has been over 95 since mid July, 27 days over 100. So I have lost most of July and August from reloading. Just too hot.
So there are portable AC units I can use but hesitate to buy one. The compressor type require to be vented and I can raise the garage door enough to allow the vent hose exit but then I’ll lose cool air out the bottom and hot air in the top. Not ideal and pricey for a 4 car garage. There are evaporative coolers that don’t require ventilation but would add some amount of humidity. It would only be running while I’m reloading so not a huge amount of humidity.
I do put the little desiccant packs in my powder and dies to keep them dry.
Does anyone have experience with reloading when an evaporative AC unit is running? My typical time reloading is about 4 hours, I would most likely give it an hour or two to cool things off.
Is this enough time to make a difference?
Thanks
