[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 113768, member: 313"] Were those groups shot from a clean barrel or from a fouled barrel? My 1st or 2nd shot from a clean barrel, even with no oil in the bore, will often shoot a bit differently (and slower) than subsequent bullets. Many rifles need a fouling shot or 2 after a bore cleaning before the rifle settles into shooting to the expected point of impact again. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
