I didn't think you were, I just wanted the method behind your madness. It took a little prodding but I got it. You just need to expound on your feelings from time to time.

The method is simplistic.

Shoot,shoot,shoot and shoot.

Roughly in that order.

Hint...............

You're gonna wear that barrel out prematurely due to excessive heat build up. I fire two shots and let my barrel cool no matter how large the group number is.

One six shot group I fired took six days: One shot every morning for six days. I know where that rifle is going to place its cold bore shot.
that is the main reason I like this barrel so much there is no difference between cold bore. It also shoots the same with a clean barrel, no fouler needed.

Stick,
I am thinking The Fire needs a "Comedy" topic for you to rant on. You missed your calling. You crack me up! By any chance do you have the complete collection of all of the Moe, Larry, and Curley episodes of the Three Stooges? Just asking.
Also, what other topics are you as learned on as you are rifles, ammo, rifle components, optics, shooting technique, ballistics, hunting, bullet performance , etc.
Have you ever given any consideration to opening up a counciling business. With your "never at a loss for words" attribute you would be an instant success.
BTW a good way to "have to" replace a barrel (if a guy doesn't like it and just wants a good excuse to get rid of it) is to find a load about 2 grains over what's in anyone's manual and spend at afternoon at the range with said barrel and never let it get too cooled off. You can tell when this procedure is successful when you clean it and the bore brush feels like it's running over a bead blasted area about 4" in front of the chamber.
Screw her off and get another one.
Dave
Oh and I cannot wait for your response

I "clean" barrels with bullets. Hint.

Never have bought a barrel,not to use and could never shift my brain into a low enough gear...to get there.

Some of you are really "lucky".

How are you going to know if you have a good barrel if you don't shoot it? Barrels are consumable IMO just like welding rod. You can't become a good wrlder without burning some sticks.


No worries, all my rigs have a half inch guarantee. I'm sure its all good.

What's the point?

All conditions were absolutely identical each morning?

If the point of impact was 1/2" different, the rifle would be sold?

All I can say is you haven't spent much time in a dog town. On an active day you'll be hard pressed to keep a barrel cool on multiple rifles.

My comment on 10 shots had nothing to do with ruining a barrel etc. The first 6 were going into the same hole, so why shoot 4 more? What were you trying to prove at 100 that the first 6 didn't?

It is boring enough shooting at 100 yards, without prolonging it.

IDK if they were trying to prove anything other than letting the guy shoot. I just know they were at the local 100 yard range. They have to drive at least an hour to get to a range they can shoot to 700 on.

So you can go on the internet and write stuff like "I know where that rifle is going to place its cold bore shot."

taylorce, it was all tongue in cheek. I've shot a 10+ shot group or two.

Don't stop guys I'm (eyes rolling) learning so much!

p.s.
More pictures please, after I get tired of reading I like to scroll through the pictures.

I'm not trying to leave good barrels on rifles for those who will either inherit or purchase them on my death.

Like my organs when I die, I hope they are all worn out! laugh
