    I don’t cast but shoot both HyTec , PC’d and lubed cast along with a few J bullets. I do use BLL on the lubed. For me I have found that the first shot out of a cleaned barrel will always be outside the normal grouping, even if the barrel was cleaned months ago and never shot, no matter the temp. I always shoot a fouling shot before I take a rifle hunting or paper punching practice. It’s been that way for me a long long time.
    Never trade luck for skill.

    Great, thanks Jon.

    Paperpatch, jacketed, snot lubed, and powdercoat does not matter other than in the extent of the issue. The barrel is actually smaller for that first shot so you cannot beat the really simple physics of the issue. The colder it gets the more noticeable it is. On deer sized game it means nothing. Might mean something if sniping sparrows in February though.
