I'm over my head on this but I will ask in prose and see what discussion we get, correct me if I'm wrong. My main hunting rifle has a thin factory barrel that heats fast, and im beginning to track POI change but there are so many variables... all other variables equal except air temp the day you shoot. So it made me wonder....
Assume a cold bore zero... Is the POI change from barrel temp rising delayed the lower the outside ambient temperature is?
based on observations, if I'm shooting on a hot summer day the temp changes faster than on a cold winter day, so if the temp change is delayed due to colder air temp then would it be logical to say the POI change is less dramatic on cold days as it is on hot days? In other words, could you get one more shot at the cold bore zero POI?
