[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1344481, member: 10291"] I struggle to imagine competing or hunting exclusively from a cold clean bore. I have typically found a change in POI after the first cold/clean bore shot. This has not been the case with cold/warmbore shots fired from a well developed load and good barrel that has been fouled with 2-10 shots. From my experiences, whether in competition or hunting rifle accuracy, zero, and consistent velocity can be achieved from a fouled bore. For PRS it is a must given as many as 100 rounds can be fired in the course of a match, many at sub 1 MOA targets at Long range(+700 yards). For hunting, I have had several occasions that multiple tags(antelope and whitetail) resulted in sequential shots. Also, coyote hunting can require multiple opportunities in short order. Yes, most of my hame is taken with 1 cold bore shot, but it's great comfort to know the next shot(or 50th for that matter) will go in the same spot. IMO. [/QUOTE]
