How many shots does it take to heat up a M1A SS NM barrel enough to change POI?  Taking about a minute between shoots.

If it's one of the match models, it shouldn't shift one iota.  You ought to be able to burn two mags in a minute.  Consistency sometimes comes through luck, but custom labor (bedding, gas system unitized, etc) is the sure path.

He's absolutely right.

I'm by no means a perfect shot. Its a loaded M1A so it has no bedding or custom work.  I was getting good groupings for 10-15 rounds then it went to hell.  Finished a 20 round mag, gave it a rest for a few then got similar results with the next mag.

As far as I can tell I was consistent but maybe I just need more practice.
