[QUOTE="dwm, post: 5096, member: 1136"] So what is the general rule about how many sequential shots can be made from a big magnum long range rifle before the barrel gets hot enough to effect accuracy? Matches are all timed and the barrel never cools down between shots. The first shot in a hunting situation is almost always shot from a cold barrel. The second shot, if required, is almost immediately after the first. Anyway, say that I am doing load development and shooting at the range. How long do I need to wait between shots if I am using a 7mm SAUM/RUM? Can I fire three in a row and then let it cool, or should I fire them one at a time with a couple of minutes between each shot?
