[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 735667, member: 17844"] That is a hard one. Something is out of alignment when it's cold and changes when it gets hot. The cold bore shot is very important as it's the one we mostly use in hunting. Bore could be oversize and gets tighter when it's hot . Barrel could be full of stress . Barrel could be badly fitted and is under some kind of warping until it gets hotter . There could be a bedding issue that gets better when hot but most gets worse when hot. Barrel could be experiencing flip that gets less as it gets hotter . Combination of all . I have heard of a few Rugers that have a bad cold bore shot . If you can get it fixed on warranty then good but if not my advice is sell the Ruger and by a gun with a hammer forged barrel like Sako , Howa , Weatherby V . Also you should swap to some better bullets like Sierra or Berger just to confirm results. [/QUOTE]
