Cold bore tips?
- Thread starter TurboTrout

Try a few dry-fire reps first. Often "cold bore" = "cold shooter".
Download the podbean app and find the everyday sniper channel (it's Frank's channel, the HMFIC of this forum) Listen to the first episode and then search through all the other ones. There is a really good one about cold bore, the title is cold bore something. That will answer all of your questions.

I'll give it a listen on my computer, not a fan of installing software when I can avoid it.

On the cold shooter note, I have dry fire rounds for my all my center fires, however with me shooting my 22 more, what’s the top choice for a dry fire round for 22lr?
Definitely get some dry fire rounds.
I spend a bit of time just practising my trigger pull each week.
I also just sit there running ranging solutions through my scope reticle.
Time on task is never a waste of time.

Yeah I think that's the one. Don't worry about installing this stuff on your phone, I use to be just like you and I'm slowly accepting this stuff. It's very convenient to just pop in your headphones and listen while working instead of just sitting and watching a videoThis one?

More dry fire in between shooting outings. If the roadmap to solid fundamentals is engrained to where you can't do it wrong then you'll execute that way almost always regardless of whether it's the start of a range day or the end. With that said it requires a ton of repetitions to get there. Subconscious competence. That's the true cure for "cold bore" because a fouled barrel shoots in the same spot as it did last outing. The only thing "cold" is the shooter.
When we said dry fire before the cold bore shot we meant right before. Like 4 or 5 times and then take the shot.
Dry fire at home is good practice also. For the .22 just pick up some standard snap caps or even use a fired .22 case can work. Some rifles like the Vudoo don’t need to have anything and can be used like a centerfire.
I’ll just use a spent case
It’s in a Sako P94S so I’m not sure if it’s dry fire friendly, rather not risk it.
Inexpensive alternative for .22 snap caps:
All of the plastic and aluminum rimfire snapcaps do get chewed up so may as well make it more affordable. There is one soft steel model but seems to not fit in many guns.
