[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3945768, member: 15054"] Long winded sorry. 3 shots will not make your barrel too hot unless it is some over bore super speedy thing. The way I see it for the way I hunt I have to make the first shot count. First shot needs to get in the same spot as the other shots. I want to know what will happen if i may miss the shot on a critter and need to make a quick follow up shot. I have got my antler and antlerless within 10 seconds of each other with a bolt gun. Here is something else to chew on. Some barrels have a sweet spot for heat. 95° was the sweet spot for a .308 I had. Now I did test my .223 with 10 shots fired without rest and my .308 and they both kept a nice tight group. I had a 7MM Mauser and each shot I took would move the impact a little higher and to the left like a rainbow without any rest between shots. 7" left and 7" high from the first shot. Let it cool and it would rainbow right back down. I read many barrels are straightened from the factory.. I even seen how they straighten them in the old days. Just bend them like sticking a pipe in the crook of a tree! I also read that as the barrel heats up it wants to go back to the bent form and let it cool it gets back to the straight area. Makes you think. I am glad the rifles I have now do not mind some heat. My barrels sitting in the sun on a 100° day get hotter than shooting in a 50° day. [/QUOTE]
