shooting in high heat

[chaneylake]

I sent 10 rds to the 200 yarder a few minutes ago, wiping with 2 damp patches, 1-5 were shaping up well, 6-10 were crazy, wasting no time doing so, is this due to the barrel getting plenty hot or have I not perfected my wiping technique.

the temperature while shooting was 105 in the shade

Fouled out.

3 damp 2 dry for PP or maybe even 4 damp for GG'S once it gets above 80 or so I go to 3 right away.

Try 103 and 4% RH thats what it was here yesterday. WHEW!

Gary, its amazing what products are available in each of our areas, I went with the stuff that I am wiping with because I have yet to be able to purchase soluable oil in my area, I will continue to try, I hate ordering "stuff", maybe I should remove the hate, just saying

If you have a local NAPA they will order it for you.
You could also go to any local machine shop and buy some un mixed. It's used as a cutting oil and when mixed with water turns white like milk. It's vegi. base so keep it in the refer. when now with you.

I finally found a gallon of the NAPA today, it took the 4th dude in the store before anyone knew what I was talking about

Shop NAPA on line and walk in with a PN# that they can look up
Make sure you use distilled water only for the mix.
"Tap" water has baaaaaad stuff in it.
