[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2992682, member: 15054"] I have done 5 and 10 shot groups. I prefer 3 shot groups but I do multiple 3 shot groups in different temps like from 18 degrees to 100+ degrees outside. Before i decide what the gun really likes. My guns are hunting guns.. first shot is very important of all the shots it needs to be exactly where I aim. A quick follow up shot with NO cool down and one more as fast as I can get back on target. That is my 3 shot process. I suppose if I was competition shooting I would need to shoot more in my groups.. I think you have so much time to allow the gun to rest and cool between shots. I do not allow my guns to cool between shots. I hunt places like this.. 3 shots is about all you will get. First one needs to really count. I have even measured barrel temp to see if there was a sweet spot during shooting groups. This was 5 shot groups and the sweet spot was in the area of 86-101 degrees.. If I shot about 8 rounds the barrel would get to that sweet spot and hold in the 90-101 area and I could shoot very tight groups. Yea a lot of shooting and measuring before I decided 3 shots proved the same thing to me as 5 shots or more for my hunting rifles. My heavy barrel .308 is one of my hunting rifles.
