Well, since I live in Houston, where "blistering heat" is about to move in, I guess I won't be loading to 41 gr. I may even keep my 38 gr loads in a cooler until just before I shoot.

From my experience, you shouldn't have to do that. I've shot 38gr loads deer hunting in Winter and in the heat of Summer. Never an issue.
