[QUOTE="okie man, post: 2728929, member: 75071"] You can gain 15-25fps just letting a round sit in a hot chamber as you monkey with your rest longer than the previous round. Ten shots through the same conditions , barrel temp, chamber temp , air temp ect. Is better than 30 ran in groups without time for the gun to cool . With a big dose of powder things heat up and change quickly. A nice evenly paced 10 shots over the coarse of a hour or so will give you a better average than 2 5 shot groups 15 minutes apart. This is where storing and shooting firearms and ammunition in a temp controlled environment would be fun. By monitoring the temp of ammo , the guns barrel and and environment , the collected data would be much more accurate. For my own standards and needs in a hunting rifle, going out in 3 or 4 totally different conditions with a rifle and putting together solid moa or better 3 shot groups in each of those conditions at extended range is all I care about. That includes using your rangefinder/ballistic app, bipod or shooting sticks, ect. If you hunt in mountains I would add shooting uphill and downhill to the test also. [/QUOTE]
