[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 611007, member: 3733"] Gary, what your OP states seems in line with your descriptions of events, first low shot was most likely the bore oil, and the lack of copper in it. Next couple shots a little eratic till it fouled up some. None of that would alarm me. It then sounds like the gun grouped to your satisfaction. You moved to 300 and now the groups were not to your liking, well you stated you were a new shooter and that recoil seemed to get worse. and that was likely the combination that effected your paper. A little wind here or there and the anticipation of the shot is most likly the cause, it is possible you got the barrel hot and that can cause a factory tube to get a little squirlly as well. I had some similar problems years ago shooting factory guns as I tried to stretch my distances. [/QUOTE]
