[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2322817, member: 118816"] Well here is another of one of those mystery fliers that nobody can understand. Everyone wants to blame something else for what can simply be attributed to one bad shot out of 5. Rifles do not normally decide to shoot a flier randomly, scopes do not suddenly change their zero and miraculously return for the next 4 shots. There are only two reasons that can be attributed to this situation. 1 - a bad round, not quite the same as the others, but that will not repeat itself on a regular basis with care in loading. 2 - Face facts, when the rifle discharged it was pointing exactly where that flier went. We are not talking a big disparity from the group here, a little parallax issue, the squeeze of the trigger set the rifle off a millisecond before you were actually ready. The slightest little difference can make the biggest errors. I am also not a big fan of the supposed cold barrel shot. All of my rifles will shoot a 5 shot group at 1MOA or less when fired with a cold to hot barrel in around 2 minutes. If you miss that all holy first shot at your Animal of a lifetime are you going to ask it to stay put until your barrel cools? [/QUOTE]
