The rifle likes to walk away from you when not dug in and she has to crawl forward to keep up with it and then that causes misalignment which has to be corrected.
Actually, if you do not get the round fired before the chamber heats up the powder your bullet will land high. So it is best to just unload a hot round and insert a cool one and let the hot one cool down.

Buffalobob,
Just a grasshopper here. Does this apply to all bolt rifle, barrel and bullet type to include M118LR ? I'd assume yes, but assumptions are the mother of all **** **s, so I'd like to verify
Great post! Thank you.
This just might explain why the score were getting poorer in one particular Benning F-class. I chambered and kept the cartridge in maybe to almost a minute as I was making corrections.
Gene Econ Sir and Rick, would you care to share your .02 on the above practice. Does it make difference, say up to 1 MOA to let the cartridge heat up? I'd imagine waiting to close the bolt to the last min may not always be feasible in tactical scenarios, sniper match etc.
