[QUOTE="ratrod54, post: 2355016, member: 85057"] I 100% haven’t excluded shooter error. I do not disagree that it’s a possibility and contributing factor. That said, it’s very hard to prove the state of mind at the time or my ability to shoot. I get that whole heartedly. I do not mean that to sound brazen at all. I fully expect people to draw the conclusion that it’s shooter error. I am hoping though that someone has experienced something similar and can understand. I went back to my original post and see that I didn’t not mention both rifles were suppressed. I’m not sure why I left that out of my original post as I believe it is a contributing factor. (I cant seem to edit the original post to include). 18” Barrel had a TBAC Ultra7 suppressor on it and the 16.5” barrel had a TBAC 30BA suppressor on it. Cold bore shots with a muzzle break have never been an issue. I have had some POI with a suppressor, but not extreme. That said, not had to deal with it from shorter barrels at all so this is why it’s caught me off guard. I would agree that without the suppressor, I would have a massive problem and would blame myself 100% for the cold bore miss. Down to my core, I think there is something else at play here though. As for fooling, The 7-08 (18”) had 50 rounds through it and the 308 (16.5”) had between 25 & 30. [/QUOTE]
