[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2801348, member: 116439"] 1. Know your DOPE (altitude, temp, Humidity, spin drift, declination (gravity), location (Coriolis effect longitude (east to west), latitude (North to South) which degree direction you are shooting. AND MIRAGE. This really takes effect at 1K yds+++ 2. Range your target 3. Read the wind [I]Now all this can be done with modern tools (Kestrel Meter)[/I] 4. SHOOT Also "Cold Bore Shot" is really not referring to a "COLD Temperature" barrel. If you have your rifle sighted in with a "Fouled Barrel" your next shot will have the same POI even several days later with the same Fouled Barrel. (not saying to shoot ten shots in a row with a heated fouled barrel and use that POI sighted in for your rifle.) Now when using the "Cold Bore" Shot with a Cleaned Barrel your first shot will be the POI, but the follow up shots may be different POI as the barrel "Fouls" probably not too noticeable at 100 yds, but if going distance it may be fractions of a MOA or more. I know that sometimes when I work at the range I just shoot (7) rounds 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 966 and go home. The next time I get to the range I shoot without cleaning, I get the data from my Kestrel for 966 yds set my elevation, read the wind and BANG ring the steel dead center. IT IS MORE WIND THAN ANYTHING! So it is all the WIND more than anything else if you can hit 1 MOA at 1K the first shot or any other shots! If you shoot a lot at the same range and kind of know the "Wind" Patterns with trees, gullies. hills, prevailing winds, times of day you have an advantage. Going to a new Range and not knowing the terrain can be difficult for the windy days. [/QUOTE]
