[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1655027, member: 8873"] I’ve had (issued) rifles that would consistently have what some folks call a “cold bore flier”. If I have to shoot that ammo through the rifle (as with military issue) I do not call it that, the others are the fliers as the first round is the one that matters most. I would check it to make sure it printed that first round (as you did) consistently to the same poi and keep that documented, and then where the others grouped. Also do this with a clean cold bore as you never know when something unforeseen may happen and you need to clean the barrel, and be somewhere that fouling shots are undesirable. Now since I have to shoot certain ammo through these rifles I noticed with some under “hypothetical situations” (because altering ammo is against regulation) that if I changed the seating depth a bit (as mentioned by another poster) that sometimes the rifles would group better and the supposed fliers would/may be eliminated almost entirely. Since we are talking “hypothetically” I may have even had a hand held press that I carried to adjust seating depth a little for each rifle and kept it documented in each rifles’ data book. Hypothetically speaking of course. [/QUOTE]
