Okay just one more question

[Deleted member 48126]

You guys have it cool there
We get our summer warm starting around 35c and going up around the middle of our state of Western Australia mid 40c and up to 50c that's 122 f in mid summer , but believe me no shooting in that heat one sorta wanders off to the nearest pub lol
I still shoot in low to mid 40c not too bad under a tree in the shade

It's backwards down there!! North is hot, south is cold! You celebrate Christmas in July! My mind was blown when I hung out with Australians.

Up here i have to keep my ammo in a cooler to stay warm. I did live in Texas a long time. I could go to the range when it was hot and have the whole place to myself. Down side of the cold here in Michigan is barrel mirage gets fierce. One upside is that shooting suppressed it gets super quiet in the cold.

A while back I used to go to Ben Avery a couple times a year for high power silhouette matches. We used to have to soak towels with water from the ice coolers to cool down the barrels between relays. We shoot 7mm-08 and after 10 rounds the barrels were pretty darn hot.

So living here in the great state of NC ( I think satan stays for the summer!). I've got no choice at this point than to get my set up all dialed in these last 4 weeks, with that being said its blistering hot during the days, sometime reaching 107 degrees on somedays. While doing all my shooting I started to notice my brass was sticking in the chamber, everyday has been in the high 90s by thy time we get all set up to shoot. Is it safe to assume that the extreme heat is making my brass super hot and expanding it more than normal after the shot, considering they feed just fine I'm guessing that may be the case

Besides obvious temp swings affecting pressure, I found a used gun that would stick brass in the chamber. It wasn't pressure (mild factory loads), it was a slight brown patina in the chamber from sitting in the original owners closet forever.
A little JB bore polish on a bore mop and a slow speed drill setting took it right out. Problem solved for that issue.
