[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1449557, member: 105"] I used to think I had to shoot a fouling shot or two before I took a rifle hunting but have finally put that system to rest since I discovered the huge difference between the way a properly bedded rifle shot versus a rifle that wasn't properly bedded. Of course you need to have an accurate rifle and good load for it first but my experience lately is that all my rifles that I've taken to my gunsmith for good bedding shoot to same point of aim almost all the time and when they don't it's usually the nut behind the trigger that's to blame... ;) It's reached the point where I don't even shoot fouling shots when I shoot for group with some of my rifles. Some of my best groups I've shot this year included "fouling" shots from a cold and clean barrel. [/QUOTE]
