What have you noticed with your barrels. As the barrel gets more rounds through it have you notice an increase or decrease in your velocity? The barrel on my Edge seems to have slowed down a bit since it was brand new. A load that was going 2842fps is now going 2800fps. These were shot in similar temps so I can rule that out. H-1000 is suposed to be less temp sensitive anyways. Would shooting on a sunny day verse an overcast day make that big of a difference. I just talked to CED, and he made it sound like if you have enough light to get good readings then you should have good numbers.

Re: Barrel Velocity
I know you have removed all the old copper deposits. But I'm going to ask you about it any way. Do you clean the barrel down to bare steel when you clean? Or do you just remove the carbon fouling?
If you go to the range and shoot 5, 10 shot groups across your chronograph and DON'T CLEAN the bore, just let it cool between shots / groups, the last group will average different from the first.

My CED got a lot more consistent when I started using the IR screens.

Re: Barrel Velocity
I havent cleaned my barrel in 57 rounds. The faster speeds were when the barrel had 10 rounds through it. I have been thinking about the IR screens.

I had a DECREASE in velocity when I had more rounds through my barrel. At the beginning of summer, my load chrono'd at 2750. At the end of summer, and 1500-2000 rounds, it chrono'd at 2714.

Re: Barrel Velocity
barrels only last 6 seconds apparently

Re: Barrel Velocity
My barrel only has 60rnds through it. I was just wondering if they slow down a bit after they get broke in a little. I didnt think it would make much of a difference with a custom hand lapped barrel.
