Now...Now...Mickey!

I have to jump in and say that my Merkel 9,3x74r (properly rimmed) o/u tends to cross a bit when I shoot a hotter 250 gr ballistic tip. It does OK with S&B factory 285 gr loads. I have a box of older RWS I have not yet tried in it. The Norma 286 gr loads move laterally the same direction as my 250 hand loads, but not nearly as much. I don't have the 9,3 barrels scoped.

Everything realy moves around all over as the barrels heat up!!! Could this be part of the problem?

DB1 once suggested using canned air to cool the barrels, and I have been using cheap starting fluid to do the same with great success...but take the wood off...!!!
