[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1728618, member: 75451"] To eliminate the “supposed” first shot, shooter error .....shoot another rifle several times before the “cold bore” shot from the “subject”rifle! ;) I do not “buy into” the shooter error concept, either. I have some rifles that exhibit poi shift as barrels heat, while others are very forgiving. As a potential “point of interest”....my worst offender is a .223 Rem., in a Win. Featherweight. My rifle that is least affected by barrel heating, is my 9.0 pound, “Un-braked” .375 AI. One would think if “shooter error” were the culprit.... the AI would be “the girl most likely”! I guess I “dated myself” with that reference! :D memtb [/QUOTE]
