Thanks Michael,
Clustered nicely means 5/8" and 3/4" 3 shot groups. My range is 75 yards.
The groups were triangular.
That was when the gun was cold.
I was shooting 3 shot groups and then walking to the target to view them. In this heat, by the 7th shot it would take quite a long time to cool down.
When the gun was hot, the groups still had the same left to right spread (less than 1/2"), they just did not impact the same location vertically.
BTW the load was 225 gr barnes w/ 59 grains of IMR 4064. That is a max load in the non- AI version. Seems like a nice load in the AI case.
I think your right about not resting the forend the same way. The spot was the same because of the type of rest I was using.
BTW during our "coastal" (Zone A) deer season it can be 110 degrees. Although I don't think it would take 7 shots to kill a deer or a pig!
