[QUOTE="magna19, post: 3281598, member: 24646"] I believe it depends on the gun, ammo, shooter ability, and goal. Some guns have trouble with more than 3 shots and holding accuracy (Weatherby Sporter Barrels, bad stock/barrel/action fit to mention a couple), Factory or reloaded ammo at what pressures (Developing elk load in 7 Rem mag over published max levels in hot or cold temps may only get 3 shots). Shooter ability may worsen after 5 shots depending on recoil or fatigue. And goal is what you reach for no matter what your shooting. Even hunting loads (as some say) are target loads. This thread reminds me of a test ive been wanting to do for awhile. One shot on 10 different days from a cold bore with my elk gun. Which is a Rem 700 7 Rem Mag with a very warm loaded Berger 168 Classic Hunter. Maybe ill get around to that this year. [/QUOTE]
