[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1470892, member: 97050"] Yes there is cold bore shot and clean bore shot. I’m sure everyone would like to explain the clean bore shot, as that probably has the greatest effect on the majority of people. Cold bore on the other hand, for one, a lot of people don’t think it exist. Maybe their right. However, I look at it like this: as you shoot, especially when you zero your scope and it takes x amount of shots, usually 3 or more, the internal temps of you chamber and the next loaded round compounded with any varying degree of expansion of the chamber or barrel creates a deviation in an accuracy node. I think people see this more in factory ammo, and people who shoot their barrel HOT. Say you got your final zero at 15 shots with a 300 win mag, the last bit of adjusting you did was with a hot barrel, and cartridges loaded where exposed to a hot metal and the burn rate changes just a hair... it could change your poi, especially if it’s a thinner barrel. If none of these things then, it’s not a cold barrel then a cold shooter, and the cold barrel is just a myth. Those are the running theory’s that im aware of. Be as consistent in EVERY detail of your shooting and it shouldn’t matter. [/QUOTE]
