+1, This is pet peeve of mine, bi-pods are for field use. I used my bi-pods one time, years ago to double check my zero and couldn't believe how much my heartbeat moved the crosshairs, now i carry a rest and sandbags in my truck almost year round.

Then you can shoot 3-5 shot groups, where you have given the barrel a chance to cool down between each shot.
I shoot 3 shoots then let it cool to the ambient temp then shoot 3 more. It's funny to watch guys shoot 10 or more shots then complain how their groups look like their checking turkey loads out of their shotguns.
