[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 951078, member: 9172"] First.....how does "wind blowing ...reduces heat"? Ten below is ten below. 80 above is 80 above. Wind hase NOTHING to due with ANYTHING. Now, once the tube is heated up the wind aids in cooling the BBL, but that is a matter of convection. As far as the OP...I don't have a problem with the first "cold bore" shot. I test my hunting zeros with cold bores..at least 1/2 hour between shots. And even if I didn't, if I had a bore that changed zero enough to matter due to heat I would convert it into a FF tube, a plinking tube, or a tomato stake. Never take a clean gun into the field.....mine all have at least 10 shots down the tube before I hit the field. [/QUOTE]
