[QUOTE="ktjones, post: 1009901, member: 84891"] So I have this new Howa 1500 in 300wm. I finally got to take it to the range today for the first time. I was following the break-in procedures (as I remembered them from the pamphlet that came with it) and then went to trying to zero my new Vortex scope. At 100yds, cold bore, I'd fire 1 shot about 3/4" low. If I waited 5-10 minutes between shots, I'd put 3 holes touching. So I move it to the bulls eye, wait for the barrel to cool then shoot and sure enough, bulls eye. The problem arises if I put a round down range, then don't wait for the barrel to cool, my next shot is about 1.3" higher. If the barrel is warm (I'm talking a round every minute or so, not one right after another), they'll group 3/4", but an inch or so higher than cold bore. Just wondering if others experience this and if there is anything to be done for it. Thanks, Kyle [/QUOTE]
