Does a warm/hot suppressor effect POI ? - 02/16/18 03:13 PM
I'm asking my suppressor to perform for me on various guns during a given range session, its a .308 cal and as an example I will shoot it on the 6.5 Grendel for 40 - 50 rounds and then move it to a .270 for the same and by the time I finish I put it on my 308.
After 100 rounds of slow/moderate shooting (load development) the suppressor is very warm perhaps hot. A light mirage will be visible through the 308 scope even though the barrel is about to send out the cold bore shot.
Anyhow - seems that groups open up for me on the 308 when it is last in line on the range, being the bullet doesn't contact the suppressor I'm not convinced that a hot can is effecting my POI - it could just be shooter fatigue as I am not only laying rounds downrange but also swapping gun setups, loading mags, swapping scopes, etc...
What do you think does a hot can effect Point of Impact on a cold barrel?
