[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2849558, member: 126985"] It depends on the rifle and its barrel, and its condition. But trying to answer a variable, for target shooting usually 2. For a serious work rifle, and most all get tried for cold bore shot. I always shoot cold bore freshly cleaned and dirty ... I want to know where the first round is going to hit. I have a 50BMG that is always dead on 1st cold bore shot, clean or dirty it will hit a .5" square at 100 yds. Shoot the back of another. 510" cal bullet that didn't make it through the thick steel, punching on through. Somewhat dangerous activity, or just having fun with a 50BMG. A young woman asked if she could shoot the 50BMG, she had shot a 12 gauge before, concerned about the recoil , so I said "sure". She got down prone behind the gun, and followed instructions. I loaded the chamber. She slowly squeezed the trigger, I noticed her nail polish ...she was quite attractive, long brown hair, blue eyes concentrating on the reticle and a serious look... the 50BMG went boom...Then the concussion of the blast blew her long brown hair back like a hurricane wind ..she squealed with delight. She got back on the gun and looked into the scope...proclaiming, "I hit it the little black dot". The guys are like, "sure ya did", totally doubting her claim...until we looked at the target and she centered the 1/2" dot with the 50BMG...I gave her the target and the spent 50BMG brass case as a souvinor, for her first try at shooting a 50BMG. So that's one reason why your gun should shoot good from a cold bore...ya never know when a young woman will step up and say. "Can I shoot it?" Ladies first!... [/QUOTE]
