I have never had a misfire in my Remington 700ml. I got literally one of the first ones about 25 years ago and have taken many deer and elk with it. My last trip in December it was cold, below freezing. On the 3rd day I got my shot and it went off and my bullet made it 20 feet.
I took my gun inside the hotel room each night barrel up - which I have done many time before. The barrel was taped at the end. I shoot saboted TC shockwave that fit TIGHT down the barrel. The gun was loaded very carefully, barrel dried out, shot a cap or 2 before loading to be extra sure.
Each time the gun came inside it had a fair amount of condensation on it. I suspect enough condensation occurred inside the barrel that is ran down and was able to get past my sabot (which really surprised me).
What do you think? This year I think I will leave my gun in the vehicle?
