[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2475492, member: 1521"] I think it's a pretty common issue, at least for me. Things I do to fix this: 1. Clear any build issues with the gun and scope. 2. After full cleaning to white metal, I wash the bore with alcohol and then dry pre-foul with Tungsten (WS2). That's how I put the gun away, clean, dry, pre-fouled, ready for use. 3. After developing a hot precision load, I shift to cold bore accuracy development (which can take weeks, or months). So far I haven't seen best hot bore grouping produce the best cold bore accuracy. And since I'm a hunter, I stick with best CB accuracy. If I can't get CBA at ~3/8moa or better, I always let the gun go in some manner, no matter how well it groups. 4. I always keep ammo intended for use in my front pants pockets. No matter the season, bench or field, development or hunting. I pull one shot at a time from my pocket, every shot. At least my ammo is always the same temp. 5. I always shoot off a Harris bipod for accuracy development, as I do in the field. [/QUOTE]
