[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2334147, member: 115658"] Some of my rifles that did not shoot well did better when I became less annoyed and let the barrels cool off. That fixed my 6mm-06 problem child that heats up fast with powder charges approaching 60 grains thru that small bore thin barrel. Lots of heat & fouling - fast. Now, being more prudent I can hit within a inch, first shot at 300 with a cold barrel; the next 2 hit about the same but when things heat up groups open to 4-6 inches. This is acceptable for a sit & wait hunting rifle used by an olde guy. Hate to think of using it to shoot 20 with 1 minute between shots. Then there is the re-barrel option. [/QUOTE]
