[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 545711, member: 24624"] I'm not a fan of the lead sled. It removes several variables and introduces new ones. But, if your first 3 shots are always tight, it doesn't seem like the lead sled is your problem here. Try stopping with 3 shots and then wait until the barrel completely cools and try another 3 shot group. If your groups are repeatedly and consistently tight with no fliers and no change in POI, then your problem seems to be stress in the barrel and/or reciever due to heat build up that's throwing your 4th or 5th shot. Otherwise, it may just be harmonics in the bullet/load/rifle/shooter/lead sled combo. In which case, you need to methodically change one variable at a time to identify the issue. Or, take the rifle to your smith and observe him shooting it since he said it was on the money. -- richard [/QUOTE]
