Hey guys, for the life of me I cant figure this out...I shoot a custom 338 RUM.. it is a real tackdriver....shoots well into the 1/3 moa to 600 yards...Never really pay attention to it since I shoot a fowler everytime i shoot steel...well this hunting season I was humbled...Hunted with a fouled barrel shot a buck at 588..10 inches right....No wind.. shot again and hit perfect...Got home cleaned gun went out and shot...fouled barrel...proceed to shoot a 2 inch group at 500... last week went to shoot again before another hunting trip...same fouled barrel (5 shots)...1st shot10 inches right at 500...then 4 right on top of eachother in under 2 inches....Thought it was me.. went home cleaned gun.. fouled barrel..waited an hour and shot cold bore shot again 10 inches right, and 3 dead center....Just went to colorado on deer hunt and this was wagging the back of my mind the whole time...lined a buck up at 614, and actually gave him 2 minutes left( his brisket). and hit about 4 inches back of his shoulder..killed him dead...approx 10 minutes later, just for fun.. found a volleyball size rock at 720 and pouded it twice...So what is the deal here..Cant go around shooting my gun every 10 minutes while I am hunting .shooting 225 gr accubonds with 98.5 gr of h1000 going 3175 fps....28 inch benchmark barrel...thanks and look forward to a response...hopefully Jeff ( BROZ) has an answer for megun)
