| quote: Originally posted by zdrive: how come it is that my remington 700 221 fireball can shoot a 5 shoot group under an inch and in the time it takes me to reloade it shoots the second 5 shoot group under an inch but it is two inches lower than the other group. By the time you've reloaded, the barrel is pointing to a different spot on the target because of it's having had time to heat up...... The 221's powder charge is small, and it takes longer for the barrel to heat up significantly.
