[QUOTE="LRHChinook, post: 797023, member: 50445"] When I take my Wby Accumark 300 win mag or Mark V 257 mag to the range to test new hand loads, I usually fire 40 rounds (10 times 4 different load combinations). But this is not a reloading question. It's how much time do I need to let my barrel cool as I shoot to maintain accuracy? I shoot 5 shot groups and usually take 2 minutes per shot (after setup). I usually wait 15 minutes between groups to change target and let the barrel cool somewhat. Is this enough cool time? Should I take longer between shots? Thanks [/QUOTE]
