[QUOTE="Hondo64d, post: 1180838, member: 1390"] Once again, three shots is statistically not a reliable predictor of where the next shot is going to land. If you don't believe this, shoot a three shot group, let the barrel cool, and shoot another three shot group at the same POA. I PROMISE you the six total shots will be noticeably bigger than the original three. If you want to blame this on changing conditions, then do it at an indoor range. The results will be nearly the same. Anyway, I want more accuracy because I enjoy having it. I shoot a lot, and only a small percentage of rounds fired are on game. I enjoy long range steel and it is very gratifying to have a high level of confidence that my bullet is going where I aim. I had hoped that with all the experience on this board someone would have chambered/shot enough different contours to be able to share some trends they have observed in regard to contour vs accuracy potential. Thanks, John [/QUOTE]
