Take your time between shots to let the barrel cool a bit.

A7 is a hunting rifle not a heavy barrel range queen, I would think 5 shots then let it cool down before next lot, I usually do 3 shot groups with my hunting rifle, hell if I can't kill it with 3 I shouldn't be shooting at it. 1 is usually enough. Don't get to caught up with range groups as long as it can group on a cold barrel it'll be right for hunting.
