[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 1376351, member: 25831"] You can try to shoot the cold clean bore shot and then the group and then put it away for the day. Next time out, take the same four shots and see where they are. Maybe even do it again another day for some consistency. I have listened to guys talk about not cleaning for a few hundred rounds, that is fine if you shoot often, but if you don’t and live in any humidity you may look at puttting it away slightly wet. I tried to put one away dirty thinking my cold bore would be on and it sat for about six months. No bueno! Mapping the cold clean bore can be done similar to what I listed above but instead of shooting it dirty go home and clean it back to bare steel and see where it shoots. Then repeat. Every time I did this the cold clean shot was always out but not predictable enough to map. Now unless the rifle shoots cold clean bore into the group it don’t go out unless it’s fouled before hunting season. FWIW all my custom barrels shoot to the same group cold clean. Factory are a little more like you describe. Another thing I try to do is dry fire a few just to warm up my shooting mechanics. Good luck and report back whatever method you use. [/QUOTE]
