[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 643854, member: 1521"] I've concluded based on my experience that barrel performance in this regard cannot be predicted or assumed. I've seen barrels(including best in aftermarket) throw cold-clean shots relatively far from fouled-warm shots to follow. It's exactly why competitors get sighters. It just needs to be verified and possibly adjusted for with your planned condition to shoot at game with. Your not gonna have sighters in the field to fresh foul and bring any barrel to stable temps. The best you can get is cold pre-fouled. Also don't forget to test off a bipod(in the dirt) if that's your field rest. It can take a lot of discipline to validate this, and even more to adjust for it I know. But it's worth it when you can pull the gun from your safe, ground the bipod, and know your first shot will be as good as any. [/QUOTE]
