[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 327267, member: 3776"] Once I have settled on a load and have verified my drop, I never shoot more than 3 shots. I do not think that I would ever shoot more than 3 at an animal and that is all that I am after, since I am a long range hunter not a competitor. I like to set up a target and fire 1 round come back a few days latter and shot 1 more round a few days latter and shoot 1 round. This give me a good indication of what to expect from a cold barrel, which is how it will be in the hunting field. Last year just before going on my Elk hunt I fired 3 rounds over 7 days and had about a 2" group at 600 yards with my 338 Lapua. I called that good to go [/QUOTE]
