[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 655322, member: 30902"] You don't have to wait a day or even an hour to see how repeatable your cold bore shots are. A single shot with a 5-10 minute wait will allow your barrel and chamber to return to "cold bore" status just fine especially if you leave the bolt open between shots. One of the big problems with trying to shoot the groups is that when you go from shooting a clean bore cold bore shot, to three or five successive shots you are "changing the canvass" so to speak in that the conditions under which your first shot was fired no longer exist unless you clean between shots. Of course this is why I never shoot a freshly cleaned barrel. Even after a thorough cleaning I'll put 3 quick fouling shots through it if I'm going to be carrying it or taking it on a hunt. [/QUOTE]
