[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 105718, member: 5302"] I don't think it's caused by a thin barrel. Too many thin ones have shot great from the beginning. Some factory barrels aren't stress relieved enough or properly and that lets them curve a tiny bit usually in one direction when they heat up. Others are done right and will shoot just fine for unlimited shots. Let's hope you don't have the same problem I did years ago. I didn't hold the rifle or use the trigger exactly the same for each shot. The first few shots went into about one hole, then the next few moved off someplace left. Finally, I cured that problem with some help from a friend. Don't know if you're doing this but it happens to us humans and I mention it because it is one cause of what you see. There are no 'fliers.' Every bullet goes where it was intended to go depending on where the muzzle was pointed when the bullet left and what direction the bullet took after it left the barrel as well as the trajectory it takes based on its muzzle velocity, ballistic coefficient and atmospheric conditions it flies through.
