[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 648130, member: 29966"] One of my favorite ways to test the accuracy of my load is to fire two different 7 shot groups. It's amazing how many fliers disappear once you have 7 shots on paper. It obviously can be frustrating firing a 7 shot string because the conditions can change during that time, but it will give you a very good idea of what accuracy you can confidently expect from your particular set up. I have a rifle that has fired many 1/4 MOA 3 shot groups but with 7 shots it opens up to just under 3/4 MOA. I actually fired 3 10 shot groups in a row with it one day and 2 of them were just under 3/4 MOA and the 3rd one was 3/4 MOA with a called flyer that moved the group to an inch. I cut the targets out and superimposed them on each other and I could have had a 30 shot group at 100 that was an inch! After that, if I'm getting flyers in a group I'm pretty sure it's me causing them and not the load. Good luck tinkering with your load! [/QUOTE]
