[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3566880, member: 15054"] I noticed the warmed up barrel scenario when I would take the same good shooting load on another day and it would shoot worse and the outside temps were the same. I Took my IR thermometer and started writing down barrel temps. It had nothing to do with ammo temp and the round was not in the chamber long enough to heat it up. Chamber get on target and shoot. All ammo was kept in the ammo boxes in the shade until I needed to chamber one. I went as far as to take the rifle into the car and turn on the AC and cool the barrel down and cool ammo just to see if ammo or barrel temp made more difference. I was ate up with it. Hand loading is a deep hole you can't dig yourself out of so be warned! [/QUOTE]
