Reloaded 160 grain accubonds for a friend with imr4831 first shot on cold barrel 4 inches off where bullet was to hit at 100 yards next three right on the mark weather -1C tryed again on cold gun same results any ideas?
 
Cleaned barrel for each first shot? Guard screws properly tightened? All scope mount screws properly tightened? Otherwise I would look at action bedding allowing movement of the rifle in the stock from handling between groups causing wood to metal pressure changes. You might consider trying a different powder as IMR 4831 is one of the more temp. sensitive powders. If it does it with another less temp. sensitive powder I think I would go directly to bedding improvement.
 
If if only happened the first time I would say a clean cold lightly oiled barrel. But since it happened again with what I would assume was only a cold barrel, I would look at the bedding screws then the bedding itself.
