You think thats bad with the flier on a clean barrel...sheesh i wish...!!!
My 7-08 hunting outfit throws the first shot on a COLD barrel...irrelevant of being clean or fouled.
While load testing many different combos, you can see the flier clocking around & getting further from the group as the powder charge increases...
So ive wasted hundreds of rounds finding a mild to medium proj/powder charge combo that throws that shot .75-1.0 moa high...
Pain in the effin ahhss i tell ya...!!!
But thats how i overcome it--found a load that is only elevation difference--dial first shot if only one shot at 250ish+, or hold under for first shot if many are needed.
So far im yet to have needed a first shot that has required bunny headshot @ 200+yds accuracy, as its mostly used for goats etc.
If i get the inclination one day ill give it a crack on a bunny with a cold barrel & see how i go...
