[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 161969, member: 2736"] [b]Cold bore shots[/b] Rock If you are using this rifle to hunt big game with it is the first shot that counts . Clean the rifle and dry patch well ,then shoot a fouling shot repeat the process until the fouling shot is zeroed then clean and dry patch and you are ready to go(the first shot will always be predictable) If you want accurate follow up shots then clean and dry patch,shoot,dry patch and shoot 3 or 4 shots for group if you are happy with zero then clean ,dry patch and shoot one fouling shot then dry patch only and your ready to go hunting. The problem can be many things as Roy mentioned some rifles like some fouling. bedding could be another. oil or cleaning solvents left in the barrel will allmost allways cause the first round to fly off low or left. of the group. Also check the torque on the bedding screws (65 to 75 inch/lbs) So try and leave the rifle in the ready to shoot mode. When I used to shoot matches the first siter was allways a fouling shot and the second siter was the one I used to adjust the sights with, This is not a problem that cant be solved so dont give up. I hope this helps J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
