[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 581700, member: 25488"] Something on your rifle is loose. I would almost guarantee it. Possibly you are holding the rifle differently at times. It may be your loads, but if you know they are consistent, something is loose. I have an Encore that I have seen do exactly the same thing. I changed the barrel lug and problem solved. I just have to use a different lug with the 45/70 than I do the other barrels, it bangs them up pretty hard. It does not effect the accuracy of my 45/70 barrel, just the 25-06 and 22-250. I am betting something isn't right with your rifle. Some rifles however will place a cold bore shot in a completely different area than the rest. That 22-250 is 2 inches from my group with the cold bore shot, then the rest go in 1/2 inch. But ten shots over the course of a full day all from a completely cooled barrel will go inside a 1/2 inch as well. So at least I know where the first shot is going. [/QUOTE]
