[QUOTE="John Porter, post: 1646264, member: 110240"] A VERY important couple of lines from the 1K ladder article. "[I]with hunting and tactical rifles, I try to test from a cold barrel because that is how the rifle will be used. Basically, you want to simulate the conditions in which the load and rifle will be used[/I]." For all my hunting rifles I shoot five shot groups, allowing the barrel to cool off fully after each group. This is time consuming but I do load development for a few other shooters and usually have two rifles to work on, so I shoot one while the other is cooling down. Also adapted an air mattress 12 volt pump with a hose that fits into the chamber and cools the barrel in less than half the time. [/QUOTE]
