[QUOTE="73driver, post: 2300941, member: 36473"] It depends on what you are looking for. In a hunting rifle I shoot 3 in a row looking for first shot and follow up shot consistency. After 3 shots let it cool way down, takes 15min. If you are shooting a PRS or Silhouette competition rifle then shoot at least 5 shots right in a row to check grouping. When in a match there is no time to wait and cool your barrel so why do it when group testing. Not sure the pace of shooting in a bench rest match and in F class you get a little time between shots. Match your shooting pace to the rifles intended use. [/QUOTE]
