[QUOTE="RustyRick, post: 1190406, member: 69572"] I watched my brother this week shoot his 56-06 X-Bolt. 16 X scope at 100 yrds hand loads. He's been some frustrated with groups in the 2 to 2.5" size. He would get shot one and 2 within the inch. Then they would spread. So I guessed it's a heating / barrel expansion situation. So the last rounds he would shoot 1 round, and go shoot his 22. Come back round 2, go shoot the 22, cool of his barrel, come back round 3, to 5. Sure enough shrunk his 5 shot group to just over the inch. What beside heating expansion might it be? [/QUOTE]
