That may have been one of the reasons why the Brits didn't fall in line with the common smoothbore gun. The smoothbore gun designers had to jump through a lot of hoops to bring accuracy up, from fanatical quality control on munitions manufacture to fancy metalurgy to decrease barrel flexing during firing. The Israeli Merkava had (last I heard) air-conditioned round stowage to keep the charge temp from going outside of spec for reliable firing. So there might be a difference in hot sandy conditions, in combat condtions and with less frequent maintenance.
