I know nothing about this but seems like if you are hunting your first shot is really the only one that counts so why not use the 2-3 shot sight in method and save your bullets
Lol because I want to know it’s going to hit in the same place second or third shot like swampratt said I may shoot a buck and a doe a few seconds later but I understand what your saying
I went hog hunting with my .223 Axis in Feb. a few years ago.
Seen a bunch in one spot I aimed at the largest female and that 55 V-max dropped her where she stood.
The others took off like lightening and it was fairly thick brush hunting.
I sent another round quick and dropped a little piglet and sent another really quick and by then they were into the thick brush and No kill on #3.
Heart pounding moment as I was 30 feet away from them.
Not only do you need to know where multiple rounds will hit you need to see where they will hit at many different distances.
Yes I check my POI at 25 yards and at 25 feet.
Fun for sure and knowing you made that ammo that puts meat on the table is just a bonus.

And because no matter how good we are, we still miss. Ask me how I know, I have plenty of stories.
All of my precision rifles are heavy profile barrels and modern. Rarely does a cold bore shot not touch or at least clover leaf the other other 2 or 4 in the group. More than adequate for a shot on something not hiding behind a hostage or trying to shoot back.
I do have one sorta thin 16" .308 barrel. About round 7 or 8 in a normal string, I'll see fliers of an inch or so so at 100 yards.
I think it's good practice to shoot until you see a noticeable shift due to heat. I like to get more comfortable with my rifles than I do most people.
