[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2394874, member: 10755"] I do not even measure my groups in inches. I also do not measure groups from anything smaller than 10 shots at each powder weight when tuning. If you think taking a measurement on a 3 round group and say that your rifle is capable of holding that precision in a 10 shot string over several attempts at different days, you are fooling yourself. It is the same chasing a node that is .2g-.3g wide and a seating depth that is only .003” wide to get the bestest groups possible. Getting a wide node and a seating depth that is wide but is more CONSISTENT over shooting 200 rounds in a weekend match is more productive giving a more stable aggregate. I have seen 5 shot groups that were almost touching in the morning, but by the afternoon that opened well past acceptable size, even at 300 and 600. A wider node gives a little larger group, but stays the same throughout the day. Anyway, that’s how I look at accuracy and precision. One group means almost nothing. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
