[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 877854, member: 61747"] True about expansion but a barrel has a hollow core and therefore the metal expands into the barrel hollow core and tightens as it is heated. I think you need to shoot more groups over time to determine if cold bore hits are consistently high. I have found on a fouled barrel with low es reloads my first round impacts are consistent with strings of fire. For example a few weeks ago I shot at 1220 cold bore. Shot a follow up to confirm and it hit almost exact same spot. 3rd shot with windage and elevation adjustment.
