[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 362537, member: 1521"] There is no 'coming back to zero' in hunting. Your first shot IS your zero. If that's inconsistent, then you're not leaving your barrel in a ready state. I can't find a link, but there was a good article recently published that resolved leaving oil in a bore after cleaning as a very wrong thing to do(for a hunting gun). This is because it took atleast 10shots just to burn that oil out of the bore full length. And until it was burned out, fouling was not true to that your zero may have been based on. Oil is very tenacious by design. So however you leave the bore, it isn't 'ready' until the bore is dry. [/QUOTE]
