[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1960152, member: 78438"] For sure if your starting with a freshly cleaned barrel, this can cause some of those problems. I have a 280ai that doesn't shoot until you get about a dozen down the barrel after I clean it. Then it runs great for the next 100 or so, she just likes it dirty I guess. How much is the velocity increasing? You mentioned it settles down, but didn't say what the spread is for those first few shots? As mentioned above, I've found those loads that are that close to lands to be a bit finicky at times, I always prefer to find a load that's .030+ off if I can....doesn't always work, but usually there is a sweet spot somewhere between .030 and .080. I've found that this "node" is typically more forgiving. I can't back that up with any reasoning, it's just my observations. Have you done a ladder test? If your close to the edge of your node, a slight increase in velocity can push you out, if you pick the middle of the node, it will allow for a little more variation and still give good results ( depending on how far your shooting) [/QUOTE]
