[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 947222, member: 22335"] I wait 3 min between shots on cooler days (<60 degrees) and closer to 5 min on warmer days. This keeps the barrel cool enough to keep it from "walking" when it gets warm. As my first shot on game is generally a cold barrel I like to keep close to that condition when testing. Sure it takes time when you're only shooting once every few minutes, but I often take a second rifle to play with and shoot that from a different bench on the range. I usually plan on a nice, relaxing, slow time alone at the range when I ladder test. [/QUOTE]
