[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3281617, member: 15054"] I want my cold bore shot to be next to the other 2. I have found cold clean and oiled first shot will almost always send that shot away from the other 2. I then got into shorter barrels 18" .308 16" .223 and that first shot is in the same place as the others. Winner. I have shot on multiple days different temps with the same load too see if it falls apart. Varget has been the worst powder by far for me when temps change. What works well at 17 degrees falls apart at 55 and what works at 55 will fall apart at 95. IMR4064 and H4895 have been my best go to powders. Took my buddies Pump 30-06 out of the gun case last month and loaded a round that I made 2 years ago shot it at 200 yards it was 1" high and about 3/8" to the left. Loaded one more round into it and hit 1/2" high and perfect right and left. Stuck it back into the gun case and said it was ready to hunt with. But you only shot it 2 times..Yea and that was 1 time too many. Annealed and fully prepped R-P cases CCI 200 primer and 52.5gr IMR4064 with 150gr flat base Hornady #3031 bullet NO crimp. My go to load in 30-06. That was not quite the 1 shot group since I shot 2. [/QUOTE]
