[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 2634902, member: 879"] Rosebud, shooting 5 as fast as you is exactly what you don't want to do, because shots 4 and 5 give you misleading data due to barrel warming. Those last two warm barrel shots don't yield any useful information for any big game hunting. Much more revealing is 5 cold fouled barrel shots fired at same target that give you a 5 shot average of what you can expect from your first cold barrel shot when hunting. I no longer waste ammo on 100 yard testing because it is difficult to see any difference between one single hole group and another single hole group without measuring. Differences become clear at 200. Not unusual to get 3 shots under a dime with target bullets and under a quarter with hunting bullets. But these rifles are good enough that they are capable of putting 3 under quarter at 300 Yards, as you see below, 6.5 CM. And once in awhile when I don't drink alcohol the night before and skip the morning coffee and remember do my breath control technique, the Sauer is capable of this at 200 Yards, 30-06. [/QUOTE]
