I never heard that term before either but, that is what they have written down on the paper work. Maybe it was a misspelling?

Ease up on rustic; I understand what he is trying to say. I think he lacks experience, and has trouble making his point, but his heart is in the right place, and he is trying to learn.
If he is trying to B.S. us, then shame on him, but if he is having a communication problem, then I think we need to cut him some slack.
Anybody here that didn't do or buy something they shouldn't have when they started out?

Flyers have more to do with the rifle than the ammo. We all know or should know there is a difference in POI between clean cold bore, cold bore, and warm bore shots. Some rifle barrels are worse than others in that regard. The fact that his target looks like that is nothing really unusual.
If Corbon did what they claim, they cleaned his bore very good, probably down to bare metal. So that first shot should be off from the group as that would have been a clean cold bore shot. In reality for a hunting gun, that shot is not that far off the mark. |

I called what the deal was the shot on the right(the one that is way off) is where I had the scope set at. When I bought a few boxes when I first bought the rifle to try it out "off the shelf" Corbon ammo.
The other much better shots on the left were after adjustment of the scope. I do know the rifle shots a lot better for me after the custom work-up was done. I guess I better increase my "shooters vocabulary" on here other wise the mocking will only get worse. |

Ok, here is what I'm getting from the taget and rustic's discription, with some edumacation.
The first shot on the right is a fouling shot (not a fowling, like a bird,shot). It is intended to foul or dirty the bore, and remove any trace oil and solvent that may be left in the bore that could effect first round point of impact (POI) from point of aim (POA). This is something that should be done before any serious shot is made; since a clean bore shot is often unpredictable on POI.
The group on the left (a number of shots fired at the same aiming point) is the accuracy potential of the rifle and ammunition combination. Scope adjustment has nothing to do with group size, unless scope adjustments are made during the group shots, which would negate the group for any practical purpose.
After a group has been fired, the sights (scope) can be adjusted so that the group's POI can match the POA.
In the case of rustic's target, for a 100yd zero, I would move the sights so that the group moved a 1/2" up and 1/2" right; assuming the squares or grids are 1" square.
Hope this helps.

Rustic,
Is that a 100 yard target? Some gunmakers (like Cooper) and custom ammo places ship 50 yard targets with their products. |

Hey rustic,
You can take up reloading and learn to produce equally accurate ammo for that rifle. Looks like the crew at Corbon did a really fine job... if they only knew how to spell 'fouler'. |

I am trying to do research on reloading so I don't get into something over my head. Like I said in the past I just bought the cheapest ammo off the shelf to hunt with. The last few years with ammo prices going crazy I have wanted to try something else like buying custom ammo then maybe reloading or whatever. I do like the guys at Corbon I have know'n some of them for many years just a simple mistake... no big. I do wish I kept the brass from the ammo I shot up this past weekend though... oh well. |

Didn't that take all the stiffness out of the fore end!? I want my stock to be stiff there.
