[QUOTE="Jungleexplorer, post: 1019305, member: 56322"] Not sure about what you said about not cleaning your barrel out for a hunting rifle. A hunting rifle is different then a target rifle in that a hunting rifle is generally shot cold and clean. So when sighting a hunting rifle in, you want to make sure to let your barrel cool between shots. A target rifle on the other hand, because it will be shot many time in rapid succession needs to be zeroed in while hot so that it will be dead on when warm. When a barrel heats up, it moves a little. This is why it takes several shots before target rifle starts getting accurate. But nobody shoot tens rounds through there hunting rifle before they shoot at an animal, so the gun has to be sighted in while cold and clean. I am not saying this is the only way it can be done, it is just the way I was taught and has worked for me for over 40 years of hunting. I have been cleaning my Savage 243 after every two shots for over 20 years and I can stack bullets with it at 100 yards. Thanks for the data on the load formula. [/QUOTE]
