As some of you might remember, after my bull elk hunt this year I had some issues with carbon from the suppressor getting into my action. I cleaned the suppressor, barrel, and action very well. Life got in the way and I never made it to the range. I had a moment of panic this afternoon when I remembered I hadn't fouled my barrel and I was leaving tomorrow at 2am for my buck hunt! Raced out to the range right before dark and set the 12" gong at 742. First shot was high right, maybe 6" high and 6" right. Here are the next 5. Those bucks better watch out! The elk aren't safe either. Steph has a cow tag and one of those 5 shots at 742 belong to her!

Looks like you are set !
My new Edge puts HBN coated bullets in the same spot on a stripped barrel but about 25fps slower on the first 2 shots. Not sure if it is the barrel or the bullets as I have never tried uncoated bullets but I will be paying more attention to this in the future.
