[QUOTE="Kbaker657, post: 1490116, member: 88018"] I don’t know the weight of your barrel but regardless your shots should slow down as your barrel warms. If you shot all 20 in 5 minutes you had 15 seconds per shot so with that considered that is a good SD. If it is a hunting rifle I feel the most realistic measurement is cooling a standard amount of time between shots to bring the rifle back to as close to cold bore as possible. Once I am happy with the load and sd/extreme spread I am getting I will then fire groups of 3 in succession. In my mind a hunting rifle needs two successive shots at the same point vertically at the desired effective range in order to have a cold bore and follow up shot that is as true as possible [/QUOTE]
