HBN Shooters

[TaterInTheSouth]

My fired brass is coming out of the chamber cold. I do not recall anyone
mentioning that as a side effect. (Gotta be good you would think)

Shooting from a clean cold bore my first shots have always been true.
And, I’m proud to announce, Nothing has changed. I am still working
my load up and it looks like its going to be a lot heavier than I expected.

My bore shows no signs of copper. Though, its never been a heavy fowler
it would be showing some tiny thin orange stripes by now using molly.
So far, all I can say is, Wow. The cold brass still has me spinning though.

Has anyone else noticed cool brass?

Re: HBN Shooters

I will have to check mine out next shoot... your just refering to the very first shot out of the gun, right?

Re: HBN Shooters

No, all the shots were cool. Sure they got progressively warmer but, to prove my
point to a friend, I put the case head to my face on shot 15. Shooting in 5 round strings I was up to 43.6 of Varget on those five.
I load singles due to mag length so the coolness really stood out to me.
My old load was 44.0 Varget useing Molly.. I will be going beyond that for sure. (primers are still round) and Yes, I could have probably put that one on my face too.
I was trying to find Max before take my chrono out. I don't know its just strange....
I wanted to know if this was common with others...

I have never had hot brass... even after pounding out 20 rounds in a quick string.

Maybe the ambient temperature here is lower?

Nope, 12 round string, 6.5X 284, brass was definitely not cool.
