[QUOTE="Frank in the Laurel Mts, post: 161892, member: 87"] In my opinion most problems like this are caused by the actual cleaning more so than the bore temperature...what I usually do is shoot and clean as much as you like in the summer and early fall.. find your load and play as much as you'd like..and sight it in a close as you can..however when the season near..I stop cleaning or if I do I'll shoot 5-8 shots to dirty it up some and then let it cool off for a few hours...then I'll fire my cold shot to see where it is..remember, if the guns on capable of 1 inch groups the shot can be anywhere in a two inch circle..it might be the top, bottom, left or right side of the group..I use stainless barrels only and have never had a problem with rust by not keeping the bore oiled, also keep a balloon over the end of your barrel...cold bore, only as good as the rifle will shoot..remember your shooting at a volleyball sized target not a ping pong ball on big game vital zones..
