I enjoy shooting small groups as much as anyone, but as a hunter, I'm mostly concerned with where the very first cold-bore shot lands.
Some bullets from some barrels shoot admirably from a warm barrel, but miserably from a cold bore left fouled by the same load. Hunting bullets, especially bonded versions, seem more likely to throw the first shot. Match bullets seem less likely to suffer from this issue. It pays to test if cold-bore shots are what's important to your application.
