If any of you folks have been following the thread on the centerfire board, does the same phenomenon exist in rimfire and to what degree? Thanks, Douglas

what
kathy is telling us is warter gets into the barrel between shots & you should shoot at timed intervals doping each shot to suit the timer.So has he convinced any of you guys or dont you believe 14 seconds between shots will have a water making difference.
good luck & good shootin Jim

Havn't read BC's post as he's on my ignore list. To much BS and advertising and don't need the aggravation. But I do know that in calm or indoor conditions, you can pull the bolt immediately after firing a round and see a gas in the barrel. If you watch it you will see it gradually disperse. In windy conditions it disperses very quickly. Don't need no special equipment or knowledge to see this gas.
Using a chronograph and firing at a regular pace, just checking for SD. Doing the same test only shooting for accuracy where time between shots varies, the SD goes up.
In pursuing this I determined that if this gas is in the barrel velocity goes up. I tried using a straw to clear the barrel and found I could get a lower SD. Also leaving the bolt open between shots for a few extra seconds allows the gas to clear better.
Is this gas water vapor or gases from the burnt powder? I think it is gas from burnt powder. But whatever it is it doesn't matter, only the effect matters. Since I seldom shoot in calm condition (not of my own choosing) I don't worry much about it.
