[QUOTE="Radman, post: 2348588, member: 112033"] I had one well-used rifle that sent fliers every third shot no matter who was shooting it, no matter how hot the barrel was or no matter whether you used reloads or factory ammo. 1st & 2nd shots were always very close but the third one was usually out around 8" @ only 100 yds. I just attrubuted it to the barrel being shot-out & got rid of it. As others here have eluded to, I would suspect that barrel heat-up is likely your issue. I've owned a couple of rifles whose barrels "crawled" A LOT during heat up of the first 3 shots or so. (May be a coincidence but both had stainless barrels) I currently own a fluted stainless barrel which demonstrates no abnormalities. I think the key to 90% of rifle accuracy woes is finding the right ammo for the rifle/distance. JMO [/QUOTE]
