[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1963985, member: 60453"] I didn't think of that for this discussion, but that would cause vertical stringing. I generally let the chamber/barrel cool between shots when shooting for groups, though. I will shoot rapid strings sometimes in my 25-06 to see what it does to groups with that rifle, but its a varmint barreled Ruger No. 1 and doesn't really heat up unless I shoot more than 6 or 8 rounds quickly. I do that because I'm in target-rich prairie dog environments quite often, and might have to defend myself multiple times in just a few minutes. By the way, I don't think you have a seating depth problem. If you did, you wouldn't get the kinds of first three round groups you're getting. I'm also sure that you're not using brass with mixed headstamps or any other of the novice mistakes that have been brought up. But David is right about chamber temp causing heating of the cartridge and a higher pressure/velocity, and it can happen pretty quickly. [/QUOTE]
