[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 170655, member: 9281"] Thanks for the input guys. As for fouling, with this lilja barrel this has never been an issue. After each shooting, I drag a snake through as many times as I shot and give it a copper cleaning with Butch's and Kroil oil every thirty rounds or so. Always cleans up real fast. As for wind, I shoot over flat ground with no chance of updrafts or downdrafts. I usually have a constant left to right wind and depending on distance, i'll sit down and move my circles for the wind between 1 m.o.a. and up to 6m.o.a. at 1000m so I usually have a good handle on the wind. Humidity doesn't change much around here and I can't see it making a 40" difference at 1000m, if humidity was a big issue, I would expect to see a lot of fluctuation in p.o.i. as well. As for temp, I keep a record of temps when I shoot and have seen some p.o.i. changes but not significant changes like we're talking about now. As for resighting, the point of impact at 100 meters is still dead center of my little 100m circle in the shepherd just as mr. shepherd says to do. Any more ideas would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
