[QUOTE="clhman, post: 384775, member: 12353"] Wow that will teach me to shoot in the snow again. I guess I never really gave moisture that much thought. Rifle makers keep pushing steel barrel / synthetic stock rifles as 'go-anywhere all-purpose Alaska guns' but the moisture game just can't be beat up here at times. I think out of everything written, the condensation on the inside of the barrel seems to me to be the highest probabilty as to what happened. I was shooting under a covered area, but the snow was still getting on my rifle. I observed the snow hitting the barrel, then rapidly evaporating. I can see that it would have cooled my barrel quick enough to condense the inside and then the projectile would have to displace it. I'll post back after I shoot these same loads again. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I was really questioning everything. [/QUOTE]
