Thread: Rule of Thumb!?

Overthinking it a little I reckon.
like they said 3-4 shots for a hunting rig which may well have a slimmer barrel than a target jobbie. A few of them now may only have a single stack mag for 3 shots so anymore is getting superfluous.
Target one 5 shots or more-
I would suggest that how you go about it and consistency of that would be more critical including/especially your reloading
What about your shooting technique, quality of barrel, trigger and stock/bedding?
Some calibres are harder on barrels so if you were doing long strings it may wreck the barrel
