[QUOTE="Deleted member 107796, post: 1686014"] Like most everything else, I believe this to be rifle specific. Just having returned from the range, I had a chance to test this with 3 different rifles that were thoroughly cleaned with copper solvent and brushed clean: Tikka T3 Lite 338WM: the first shot was not an outlier and the first 4 shot group was very tight. Tikka T3 Lite .308: the first shot was 2" above the rest of the 5 shot group. No other outliers. Ruger American 450 Bushmaster: The first 5 shot group was tight with no outliers. In short, from only my experience with the 12 calibers I reload for, I'd say that mostly, the first shot will be affected by being shot from a clean barrel, but not always. [/QUOTE]
