"The last is because the bolt locks open eliminating the full set of recoil impulses" <<< MarkCO

strange. i was under the impression that the projectile was out of the pipe before the bolt reached the backstop. isn't that why in slow motion film we see the muzzel flash before the shell ejects? and you are probably right about first round shooting high because of the way it's chambered, i have a 223 that does that very thing.
