[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1367886, member: 30902"] Quit shooting 5 shot groups, they are a waste of powder, bullets, and throat life. Stick to 3 shot groups which will give you a much more realistic representation of field performance. In the field it would be almost unheard of for you to take more than 3 shots at a single target. Three shots inside of a minute are pretty much "it". Beyond that you'd be shooting at a wounded animal you had to track down because the first three didn't get the job done. By then the barrel has already cooled back down. You'll ruin a lot of barrels trying to get to a perfect five shot group. I cannot ever remember shooting more than 3 shots at a single animal in the last thirty years, it just doesn't happen. I did run through six on four running coyotes in the open Saturday evening though. One of them is still looking for his friends. [/QUOTE]
