BarryC,

Thanks for that good explanation. Many people recognize the problem; this is the first good explanation I have seen.

It has nothing to do with a clean and oily barrel or cold chamber vs hot chamber. This is a consistent first shot problem when the action isn't loaded by the recoil of the previous shot.

Thanks again for your input.
