How fast are you guys putting the ten down range?

Edit - I am generally comfortable with saying five rounds per minute.

Let pew view be your inspiration on shooting speed

I load 3) 4 round mags. Shoot 4, swap, shoot 4, swap, shoot 2. I've never timed it, just a comfortable pace, but I don't wait unnecessarily either.

Thanks! Good to know. Very new to shooting so didn't know if you guys let the barrel cool down or anything

Good modern barrels don’t need to cool down to shoot well. There’s a long thread about it around here.

I typically switch rifles every ten rounds for the sake of the throat and to let mirage dissipate. My normal range routine is 10 centerfire, 50 rimfire, 10 centerfire, 50 rimfire, etc. On days I have a good reason, I sometimes I will just swap centerfire rifles back and forth.

Good to know, I'll go dig up that thread

Not a 10 round group, but these 20 are proving to me a "realistic" idea of what accuracy I can expect. This is off sandbags on bench, will recheck from field positions. Also, gives me great confidence when I slip turrets to zero this up that my shot on game is gonna be somewhere in this cone. Rifle is a T3x 7-08, everything factory except mountain tactical trigger spring. This was shooting box norma whitetail ammo.

Edited to add rifle details.

That’s a great rifle and your fundamentals look sound. Now it’s on you to practice in field positions.

Nice. What are the build details? And is 6.5 CM about the lightest cartridge you can run in NRL Hunter due to power factor requirements? I don't know much about it.
