jon lynn, "settle in the stock". If the action wasn't glas bedded, it usually takes a "bunch" of shots for the stock to compress the wood behind the recoil lug to where the action is snug in the stock. If your groups are improving don't worryabout the first shot being in a different place. After 40 shots and cleaning the barrel often, you are getting close. Usually 50 shots is considered as break in for the barrel. What caliberis the rifle? I hate to say this but sometimes on a new rifle the shooter isn't used to the trigger or the feel of the gun and the first shot "gets away". Then you bear down and the rest go where you are aiming. I think you should just keep going since I think you are on the right track.
