ive been trying to get the constants of my rifles POI with clean/cold bore and with fouled cold bore aswell as warm bore fouled.
i know the some guys choose to leave there rifle fouled by shooting 5-10rnds and then putting it away so its ready for action and they have one less factor when the shot matters.
i havent gathered enough data to confirm my POI on any of the above bore conditions but i think im on to something.
so far starting cold clean bore shots 1,2,3 seem to group pretty well. but as it heats up and fouls it rises about .2 mills at 100 yards it usually jumps up that .2 mills around shot 7 with a very slow rate of fire.
now first question is can i rely on that .2 mills to be the same at any range?
and second is this likely the effect of the bore heating up or the fouling or both?.. how much influence does either factor have on the POI?
i realize the effects they have are different on every rifle but any clarification on the constants would be appreciated.
