[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2923648, member: 100742"] When I am at the bench ,I accept the second shot from my rifle as the Zero. ( Sometimes) The just cleaned rifle may require a fouling shot. Then I wait 45/60 seconds depending on air temp. and then fire a second shot. That is the shot, [I]from a cold or cool barrel, [/I]becomes my starting point for the three shot group. Make adjustments if needed after the third shot. The thin barrel on my Ultralight heats up easily. This past summer I waited over 2min and 20 seconds, by the phone timer for the barrel to feel cool. I do not rush the second and third shots. Sometimes , as a TEST, I will take a second follow-up shot just to see where it shoots. I do this to try to simulate an actual hunting scenario. Often, it's very close to the first shot. [/QUOTE]
