Nice set up. Your first shot you think was low due to a clean barrel or a cold barrel? If its a cold barrel it might affect a 200 yarder. I guess you can go back to the range with a cold and fouled barrel for a confirmation shot. Nice shooting btw.

I did not know your first shot with smokeless powder was a foul shot. Mine shoots the first shot as good as the last shot as long as i dont foul the barrel from to many sabots.

Many people shoot a foul shot with smokeless centerfire rifles to clean out the oil and leave that first coat of carbon residue. The gun shoots far more consistently thereafter. My MLII is very similar, along with several other of my centerfire rifles.

Ditto,
Most ever gun I have shots totally different with a clean barrel, I usually have to take a few shots to "soil" the barrel as we say. LOL.

I plan to go back and shoot it a few more times at 150 and 200 just so I'll know what it is indeed doing at those ranges. Below are an assortment of pics that better tell the story.
