[QUOTE="NZ Longranger, post: 1044243, member: 14"] Phorwath, yes, maybe if you taped the barrel so you got no air exchange in the 60 seconds you say it takes to fire the shot, you could well have a more accurate temp testing system. You will get some air mixing otherwise, but couldn't say for sure how much as that's not something we have tried yet. But I very much doubt many have been going to these lengths to test ammo, rifle and in-bore air temps across a wider enough range of temps, which is the reason for the wide range of opinions on Re33's temp sensitivity as Jon says. I know we have mucked around trying the same sort of tests you have, and found with Re33 the bore temp is as important as powder temp, and didn't feel we were able to control it precisely enough to be definitive unless we were actually testing with everything at the desired ambient temp. Have you tested Re33 like this, and if so, what were your results? [/QUOTE]
