Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Zeroing shift Hot to Cold
Posted: 2/22/2023 1:39:06 PM EDT
Hey Guys, I zeroed my rifle today to my hunting ammo after shooting a lot of FMJ trough it so barrel and silencer where blazing hot. What kind of shift can I expect? Shooting Federal Vital-Shok Barnes TSX out of a 16" barrel with a small steel silencer.

Too much to go foxing before checking the zero again?

Every rifle is going to be different....barrel taper, barrel length, suppressor length/weight, ambient temp/pressure/elevation, etc. are all factors in barrel harmonics and rifle zero.  It will be impossible to say what your rifle will experience, other than there will be a shift.  A few inches (1-3) is not uncommon.
