Hi Gang,
So it's creeping up on hunting season, and I'm finalizing some hunting loads. I have noticed that my cold barrel point of impact is off from the main group. This is as expected. Worst case, I will sight in the scope to a point in-between and still be a happy successful hunter. However, if there is a way to condition a bore, I'd like to do some testing.
Have any of you experimented on reducing this offset when dealing with powder coated bullets? No lube is being used, just powder coated bullets. I have no idea if it matters, but these are all 30 cal rifles. Oh and I guess, one of my loads I developed is for a rifle with open sights, so not really much to worry about with that one, but 2 are scoped.
Anyway, I'm just looking for a starting point to work with. AFT, kroil? as bare a bore as possible? ear wax? whiskey? ;-)
