Hi all,
Just getting started with bolt guns and decided to pick up a v3 and test the factory rounds I zeroed the rifle with. I plan on reloading for this rifle and wanted to have a target starting point for load development.
My question is it typical to see the SD drop as the barrel warms up?
Thanks!
I shot 4 strings of 5 rounds with the following results.
