Yeah, I agree.

I'm still wondering if the 1st round were chambered from a locked back bolt instead of the charging handle if that would make a difference also with uncrimped bullets? Just something that upsets the first round like all of the rest that get fired in the group. I dunno, it's just a SWAG on my part though.

Sometimes it's the little things that will frustrate the hell out of us. Most of the time it's my ability and not the rifle! grin
