[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2422691, member: 30902"] I don't shoot 5 shot groups and honestly see no point in it. When was the last time you had five quick, consecutive shots on a game animal in the field? If I were shooting in competition it would make sense because most competitions require long shot strings at least at some point during the event. My goal is to get 1/2 MOA groups with 3 quick shots emulating field conditions. All of my custom rifles will do that or better if I do my part once I have a good load worked up. I also find watching others shoot, particularly those shooting magnums of any sort is that after the 3rd shot most guys are flinching so they are just frustrating themselves and will never get a tight group or really know what their rifle/load combo is capable of. When I head to the range likely as not I'm going to shoot 3, 5, or even more rifles and I don't care how tough a guy thinks he is 99.9% of shooters will start developing, "shooter fatigue", start flinching, and or just get sloppy in their shooting so for all those reasons I think "Less is More". You'll generally get more RELIABLE data I think from the 3 shot groups vs 5 or more shots. [/QUOTE]
