[QUOTE="Joaquin B, post: 486792, member: 20152"] Yep! Hunting IS about cold bore shots! When I develop loads, I will take the load that produced the best group out of my rifle at 200 meters, use it to load another 5 rounds and again hit the range, this time shooting at 300 meters. I will take 1 shot, wait ~5 minutes for the barrel to cool and repeat the process until I have made a 5-shot group at 300 meters. This lets me know if the rifle is capable of making consistent cold bore shots. Actually, if you have a good load developed, a group shot in this fashion will usually be a little tighter than if the shots are taken one right after the other. [/QUOTE]
