Effect of hot barrel on POI

[30Three]

Well the competition went quite well for me. I did not have a repeat of the previous problem. Could be due to there being nearly 20 shooters at the same time, as opposed to just 2 when I qualified. So more time waiting for targets and scoring etc. plus being aware of what happened last time, I was probably more concentrated.
I scored 152 out off 200. As this is only the 4th time at 200 metres with this rifle, so I'm happy.
I have previously used my No4 Mk1/2 (Fultons regulated) for these events; but having put a lot of time into getting this rifle to shoot properly, it was more enjoyable shooting it. And it's actually not far off the No4 accuracy wise now.
I am currently waiting to see if I've qualified for the National finals in June. A score of around 150 is borderline; as they run a quota system, so it really depends on how other people in other regions shoot. Would be great to use it at the National level though.
