[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1654103, member: 93895"] This happened using retumbo with 110-115 grain bullets. I did try rl17 with those same bullets and if memory serves me right I managed around 1 moa with those bullets & rl17 but I did not go as far as doing the one cold bore shot per day to see what poi would be. I really think more twist would have done those heavier bullets justice. Seem strange though how if more twist would have helped, why did the group of overnight cold bore shots do so well. I did notice that the barrel heated more with the 110-115gr than my current 80gr Barnes. Three shots with the Barnes & 53.5 grains of rl17 generates very little heat on my barrel. So I'm sure heat had something to do with it also. I often wondered it there was some Micro dialation of the bore with those 110-115 that didn't quite settle back until overnight. [/QUOTE]
