Not touching this.
One thing is clear. Each day that passes i have less wonder about how the antichrist will convince everyone except a small remnant, that he is messiah, the mahdi, the krishna, the vishnu, the buddha, etc, ad nauseum.

WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

Maybe nothing? I would think your routine is different when you single feed. Comparable to a bolt gun, cycling the bolt vs single feed? Maybe there is more time between shots?
I'm not speed shooting it... Taking time between shots. For the reply about it being a semi auto, we obviously think differently. If this was a muzzle loader I'd be doing the exact same thing... How accurate can I get the weapon to shoot.... Not just make noise.

Thumper580, what powder(s) are you using in your loads?

The reason I ask, is that in the past, I've used temp sensitive powders before min an AR load...

And by the time I got to the 3rd and 4th shots, the chamber had gotten so hot from the previous rounds, the temp powder in the brass/round was increasing, and the velocities climbed dramatically....greatly effecting the grouping of any shots after 1 and 2...

This impact is not as great in a bolt gun, even with a round like a 300 RUM or 338 Edge using large amounts of N570.

Because all of the gas is going forward, and not heating up the chamber like an AR does. When the round is extracted while the powder/gas is pushing the bullet out of the barrel, and some of the hot gas is coming back into the chamber.

Thanks
Typical 308 powders... IMR4064, IMR4895 and this group in the photo was Varget....
