O.K. Guys after days of testing in both warm and cold temps as well as various pressures this is what I have done. The barrel was cleaned and no pellets except the Terminators were tried. I have found that some pellets do not play well with others. The shroud was removed and turned end for end and backed out 1/4 turn from tight. I inserted an o ring on the barrel and pushed it into the band to stabilize the shroud/ barrel assemble. No shooting over 2600 # of pressure and none under 2000#. I only get about 28 shots in this range but they will group under 1/2" if I stay within these pressures. While I was at it I converted the rifle to a left hand bolt since I shoot left handed. I also stopped lubing my Terminators with White Lightning chain lube as I was getting first shot fliers. The lube works great on JSB pellets in my Gamo but not in the Mrod with the terminators. I pulled a dry patch through the barrel which eliminated the first shot fliers so I stopped lubing and the first shot fliers disappeared. The results are. First shot accurate in both cold and warm temps and groups under 1/2" at thirty yards.This is not the answer for all rifles but it seems to be the answer for my Mrod. I started this thread because of the poi shift caused by temp. changes and I feel that the loosening of the shroud and o ring in the band is what corrected the problem. Barrel cleaning and lube elimination decreased the group size which is now better than ever for these pellets. There is one other thing I want to mention because I feel it is critical. When shooting this rifle it is IMPERATIVE to rest it in the area immediately in front of the trigger guard. This is where I naturally place my hand but for some of the tests I rested the gun directly on the Caldwell and because of the length of the rest the front section had to be placed near the front of the stock and the results were poor. Thanks again, Gary.
