[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 951096, member: 17844"] The real problem is not just heat alone it's how heat affects the varying amounts of stress within the barrel steel . Shooting at a consistant temp that you zeroed for would help some barrels and the powder pressure . Thats what we are trying to do by allowing barrels to cool between shots . The way barrels are made has a bit to do with how much stress may be present . I find that hammer forged barrels tend to be better at the cold bore shot but also have a few button rifled that shoot well cold . I think companies that stress relieve properly make a good cold shot barrel . Tuning in your load and zero to a cold barrel is also helpful as is not shooting seriously with a fully clean barrel . I like Sako's for this reason the ones I have put the first cold shot on zero . [/QUOTE]
