[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2280552, member: 8873"] Professor, I’m going to make a suggestion that may sound as if I’m flaming you, when realistically I’m trying to just be helpful. Reading your posts in just this thread alone makes me want to say STOP! You are waaayyy overthinking this (for now), you need to stop trying to learn the tricks of the trade before you learn the trade itself. Once you get to where you can outshoot your equipment then start worrying about the minutiae. After a few rounds the temp of your barrel is not going to make you miss near as much (if any) at 1000 yards as the inconsistencies in your NPA or follow through, or even how you have your rear support set up. This is what you have a mentor for, or in your case hired an instructor. If your instructor isn’t telling you these things then my suggestion would be to find another, and I don’t care who he is/was or what kind of titles the guy has in front of his name. If anything you should worry about the temp of your ammunition (propellant temp), try to keep it somewhat controlled. [/QUOTE]
