[QUOTE="Rem700, post: 649101, member: 30019"] I like to let the barrel get as cool between loads/groups as possible. But i like to test loads to the conditions as close to what it will be used in (cold/hot). I also try to use powders that aren't affected by temp changes but the barrel is always a different story since it's metal and always affected by temparture changes. I would just test load at 5 shots, your going to have loads that your gun is not going to like and seems to be a waste of time loading more than that when the first 5 would be enough to show it doesn't like it. I do think it would be wise to shoot the amount you'll have to shoot in a competition to find out how your gun will group going from cold bore to hot after you got a load that the guns likes....IMO.
