[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1840048, member: 54178"] Mr. Fergus, After having to wait, and [B]wait[/B] for my X-Bolt Pro's skinny barrel to cool between shots of 5 shot groups [I]I agree with you.[/I] If you can shoot several good 3 shot groups from a brand and load of factory ammo or handload from a [I]hunting [/I]rifle then that is a perfectly good way of determining which load is best. With my 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt Pro's thin barrel the 5 shot groups with a 2 minute wait between shots heat it up too much and I get too much opening of groups to be able to find the best load. It's not that the groups (1" to 1 1/2") are not minute of deer, it's that I need to know [U]exactly[/U] which ammo groups best and reliable 5 shot groups with this rifle take forever. Eric B.
