Hey guys,
I have a Win Model 70 in 270 WSM. It's glass bedded in a McMillan stock... and I'm still having issues with heat sensitivity.
My first shot is always where I want it, but any follow up shot without letting the barrel cool for a matter of minutes will be way off whack. I'm talking literally, first shot is good, second shot will be 3-4" away at 100 yards.
But, if I let the barrel fully cool, it goes back to right where I want it. I know it's not my shooting... but this gun is so temp sensitive I can't believe it.
Anyone have an experience with a gun like this? Is this a problem with the heat treat or stress relief of the barrel, or should I just accept this as normal and move on with my life? It makes it very difficult to test out loads and such.
Thanks.
