[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 1259053, member: 8833"] I had the exact same opinion as you have stated above - until I tested that theory. It not only effected the first shot, but the second and third shots - I quit testing after 3 rounds, thoroughly cleaned and dried the barrel and it went right back to it's original accuracy. Thought it might be this particular rifle barrel combination so I repeated the test with another rifle with known accuracy. Very similar results. Only difference was the larger caliber seemed to be more affected than the lighter caliber - but who knows if this one instance has any validity to it. I would encourage anyone that doesn't use some kind of barrel protection to test it out for yourself. All I do know is that "anything" in a barrel is bad voo doo - and water is one. [/QUOTE]
