[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1498901, member: 2736"] Most rifle barrels ether like a cold clean barrel or like a fouling shot first and then group well. I have both and know which ones they are. Some of my rifles will start out clean and shoot 3 or 4 realy tight hits before fouling starts to effect grouping. The others will shoot the first round normally high and right and then group the next 4 together so the total group is around 1 MOA counting the first shot. With these rifles I shoot one fouling shot, dry patch and they are ready to go hunting. With hunting rifles it is important to know what type rifle you have and have it sited in for that first cold bore shot ether way, After the first shot, the second shots are never as good as the first one because the game is normally moving. If you are going to shoot extreme distances you have to be able to do accurate follow up shots so if you have to do a fouling shot before you hunt to get 3 or 4 realy good shots/hits, do a fouling shot if that's what it takes.
