Due to Cross’s tactical roots and comparatively robust barrel diameter, I chose to operate it via a test protocol I use for Competitors and tactical rifles, firing a few consecutive a few-shot groups without the need of making it possible for the barrel to cool. It’s a reasonably demanding check that enables me to ascertain regardless of whether accuracy goes south given that the barrel heats and, equally as importantly, whether or not point of effects shifts.
