[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1469304, member: 1656"] It is not unusual for a thin barrel to climb as it heats. I've seen it many times. If I have doing load development I typically wait 3 minutes between shots and at least 5 minutes between group. I gave my buddy a take-off Savage 22" 243 sporter barrel I had lying around just to keep him shooting when his barrel went south. He shot it in a mid-range F-class match on a 95F day, I warned him to watch for the start of the vertical climb and prepare to compensate. Darned if that barrel didn't go all ~70 shots without changing vertical, we were both shocked. You couldn't hold your hand to the muzzle end. [/QUOTE]
