OCW hunting rifle questions

[scott123456789]

2 Questions-
For a sporter weight savage, how long would you go in between shots? Any warm-up shots?



If the maximum range was to be 200-250 yards is the OCW process as important or go with the bullet that provides a tiny group.

For sporter barrel i would say 2 min. cool down between shots. Fire 2 fouling shots on clean bore, make adjustment with those two rounds on target.

A barrel that is not hot to the touch will work....warmish is okay, but not hot....depends on your testing weather.

I like testing in the early morning, or late evening, in the shade....which give me longer strings and shorter waits.

Not sure why you think the OCW process wouldn't give you the tiny groups....?!?

45-60 in between shots is what I do for sporter bbl's. Also I shoot in a round robin style so any heat shift is spread across the whole lot.
