[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 449828, member: 15748"] Chances are, no, but it is vaguely possible. I'd reccomend some ball and dummy practice; have a coach (or fellow shooter) load your rifle for you, and fire a shot. Hand the gun over to him and let him load another live round, or a dummy round. He closes the bolt and hands it back to you. You fire again not knowing whether it's a live round or a dummy. If you're flinching, jerking or otherwise breaking any of the basic rules of marksmanship, it'll show up the first couple times you snap on a dummy round. This is an old competitive shooters trick, and a very valuable training exercise. Normally, however, jerking or poor trigger control merely results in sloppy groups, not misplaced groups. [/QUOTE]
