[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1237116, member: 50867"] Now that I bellieve I understand your question a little better, let me take another shot at it. (pun intended.... :rolleyes:) Those of us who focus on custom/competition rifles take a different view on what qualifies as a "group" than most hunters (of which I am one but I use a custom rifle) might rely upon. As pointed out previously, if you're developing loads to put through a sporter barrel it would probably (IMO) be fine to allow three to five minutes between shots and then, after perhaps five rounds, let it rest to cool completely to body temperature. With a sporter barreled rifle you may get off two succesive shots very quickly and the rifle then gets a week to cool down. It is unusual to have the opportunity to get off more than that (nor should it be necessary) in a hunting situation. So taking a cold bore shot and following up immediately with a second shot is not a bad idea. IMO, if you've got two consistently under 1 moa in that scenario you're probably just fine.
