I never had to shoot 50 rounds of full strength 357 as fast as I could
while doing test with my magnums.
Three tens was the maximum that I have done in the last five years.
Being a old rifle shooter I will let the barrel cool, if possible
to keep my groups tight and get minimum ES.
I would say that gravity was taking over, with that hot barrel.
Did you turn it upside down, to let it cool down ?
