[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 655512, member: 30902"] There was a time in my life where I'd sit in a hide and wait days for a single shot. I'm not into that any more HA! Once I have a rifle "dialed in" I see no "need" to keep banging away with it, but I do like to just take snap shots to test both my speed/accuracy as well as to see how well the rifle holds zero along with just practicing range estimation. I'm blessed to have a large field full of white rocks bordering my place on the north (ever see a farmer who'd get in a snit out of someone destroying the rocks in his field?) as well as some ridges to the south and west with the same white rocks. At any range you KNOW where you hit because the impacts are about like hitting a bag of flour. This also very much mirrors how I do a great deal of both my meat and predator hunting and I like to keep my "practice" as realistic as possible The first thing I figured out about my 300 Rum was the fact I enjoyed shooting the damned thing WAY too much! Back to how long to wait... . As long as you aren't taking successive shots 3-5 at a time in fairly short intervals your bbl and chamber will return to ambient temperature very quickly. One/Two shots, 10 minutes and you'll be fine. [/QUOTE]
