[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1240315, member: 30902"] There's a lot of truth in this. Also, if you are shooting the same rifles all day running a large number of shots through them once you get the burrs smoothed out which will certainly help you pick up speed you then also have to deal with carbon and copper building up. Shooting hotter ammo (not letting the chamber cool down between shots) and tightening the passage crating more pressure is almost certainly going to speed things up at least until i reaches a point at which there is so much resistance from the build up to slow the rounds down. Keep them cool and clean them reasonably well aftee fifty rounds or so and you will probably see much better consistency. I try very hard to keep my groups to 3 shots fired fairly quickly but then open the bolt and allow it to cool back down for five minutes before repeating. Remember heat and pressure are what kill barrels so there's nothing of value to be gained by getting them hot and then continuing to shoot them hot. [/QUOTE]
