No the barrel was cold. I went and made lunch, took a break, washed up and refilled my powder flask, reminds me that i am out of all sub powders.

When i installed it lastnight, i snugged it up slightly tighter than i normally do and it had the same amount of pressure after shooting and came right out.

Remember when i had that X-150? I was always getting that darn plug stuck! I wish i would have used this a lot sooner.
