Now ... don't laugh at me if this is a dumb question. I've been practicing with my 300 win mag off and on all summer. Was shooting a couple different loads this weekend....180gr accubond and ELD-x.
I noticed that my first shots each day were fairly erratic.... but tightened up as the barrel warmed up. I couldn't get out each day until 11am and ambient temp was 95-ish°.... high humidity. I only shot 9 rounds each day. Just noticed it got tighter each round of 3 as the barrel warmed. It never got super hot.
Curious what your thoughts might be. I am also fully aware that it was possibly user error. I ended up both loads with 2" groups at 200yds (last round of 3)
It was miserable to be outside, but these were the only days I could shoot... traveling a bit this week for work.
Thoughts?
