As there often is talk about reg creep, I wanted to see how much pressure can change with different temp, regardless of creep or not. As if you shoot the gun outside in a cold day, then store it inside, and then take it out the next day and shoot it. Since I have a wildcat, with an edgun digital gauge measuring the tank pressure, I did a simple test: Took gun and laid it on a table outside in 8 degrees C (its winter where I live), and left it for a couple of hours, and then read the pressure drop. The temp inside my house where the gun was stored was about 22 degrees C, and the bottle pressure was 159 bar. After it had been lying outside a couple of hours in 8 degrees, the pressure had dropped from 159 to 151 bar. 8 bar drop. I did not shoot the gun. But if I had a shooting session and the regpressure was set to about 150 bar (just for comparison), the next day i shot the gun from just bringing it outside in same temp (where it had litle time to cool down), the first shot would probably be 8 bar higher, even with a perfect reg with no creep Wonder what happens if you have a black gun, and bring it outside in a warm day for a hunting session? How much would the sun heat up the gun, after bringing it out from your air conditioned car? Just something to think about. So if you are totally hooked up in "perfect" stable pressure,there might be reasons to dryfire even with a perfect working reg
