Default Scope Sighting Question

How long between each shot should you wait before firing again to maintain accuracy?
I bought my first rifle and scope and was trying to sight in yesterday, and turns out it was mounted wrong. I found this out at the range after shooting several shots, so I shot a couple more to make sure it was on the paper. I went back today to fine tune it. First shot was bullseye, but in the bottom portion of the circle so I adjusted up a hair and fired again. This time it wasn't as accurate, and the next time was even worse with no adjustments. I know a hot barrel will cause the shots to walk, so what's long enough between shots to cool it down to make sure I'm adjusting properly?
