Could a regulator creep in the heat and stay at a higher pressure?

That must be it. I will just need to learn how to adapt with it and keep a temperature tape on my gun.

At 40and 50? I may not be saying what I’m thinking, wouldn’t be the first time. Before the gun gets hot shoot at 30. If ii is hitting the x ring, let it get hot and try 40 and 50.

Hmm that should fly fairly flat… for sure not enough to hit 1 mil low at 30 because of a few fps more. Must be material expanding/shifting with the temp or something like that.

I figured it out. It was the stock causing the extreme POI shift. Took the stock off and it held POI.

I just had the same thing happen to me a couple of days ago. My Taipan Vetran long was sighted in at 30 yards. I have all my dope written on a card. Mine was shooting 8 inches low at 81 yards. Shot at 50 and not as low but still low. I shot it a week or 2 earlier and my original dope card was right on. I didn't pull out my chronograph. But assumed it was shooting faster because of my past experience with reloading and shooting powder burner pistols. Faster shoots lower because the bullet exits the barrel faster with the recoil. I didn't think there was enough recoil on my 25 caliber to have that effect. I'm just going to play with it continually at different temperatures. I do know it's a tad slower in winter. Because I've chronographed it as I live in Michigan.
