[QUOTE="Gord0, post: 1282410, member: 99696"] Just read through all 27 pages. Lots of good info, theories, and suggestions. I'll toss mine out there too. Carbon ring is going to compress your bullet. Depending on how big it is, or has swollen to who knows how much the bullet is being compressed. Water can't be compressed, that is a known fact. It can act like a solid at high speeds, along with a lubricant. Although not a very good one. Your slightly compressed bullet runs into this water in the barrel at many different points which is essentially like being struck by a bunch of almost unmovable objects in the bore. The water even if it is an even coating down the barrel is going to compress the bullet even more than it already is. It is now going to start to yaw from uneven strikes and being too small for the grooves. It also has some lubricant from the water as it glides over, and is compressed by it. Bullet exits barrel and only the Lord knows where it's going. Why didn't the rifle go back to its original poi after the first shot? I don't think all of the water was burned out of the barrel after the 3 shots that were taken, along with the possibly swollen carbon ring. The flame in the barrel was only there for a millisecond. Kind of like if you run your finger over the top of a lighter real quick, you don't get burned. Just the rambling thoughts of an engineer that is in way over his head on this one. It's a very intriguing problem though. [/QUOTE]
