[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2300889, member: 10755"] I see how your wanting to verify your cold bore shots, which is a good thing, however, the only way to do it justice is to do it at different times of the day, and on different days. Also, you want to pick several ranges, not just 100, 200 & 300. Go 450 one day and 250 on another. I assume you are twirling knobs for this. I have to say, if ANY of my rifles or barrels walk shots from cold to warm to hot, they don’t hang around long. I do my very best bedding a stock so that it is totally stress free and the barrel free floated from the recoil lug forward. If this is done correctly, the only cause for a barrel walking shots as it heats up is from a stress relieving poorly done. It can also be caused by a bad blank that has defects, not all barrel steel is x-rayed, even though they may say it is. A barrel cooler is a good thing when working up loads, but you can’t use one while hunting, so just keep track of where your prints as it heats up. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
