[QUOTE="Novus9594, post: 531270, member: 35689"] Hmmn... barrel heat would widen your grouping (as the barrel changes temperature its harmonics change), but it wouldn't cause you to strike repeatedly higher... just reduce your shot to shot consistancy. I'd guess that your ammunition was probably tested on a 24 inch barrel (not sure on that one, just a guess!). The speed difference could possibly account for almost all of that 8 inch difference... Another thing to consider... though I've had no experience with this, is that some scopes are wonky. Try adjusting your scope 10 clicks past whatever you need to adjust it, then come BACK those ten clicks (do this after determining that your scope is repeatable). It's an odd sort of phenomenon that for some scopes you have to go too far and come back down (there's an actual term for this, but for the life of me I can't remember it at the moment). [/QUOTE]
