[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 229580, member: 9215"] "I don't regard finding a method that uses every shot to judge a load classroom mental gamesmanship." You sorta make my point when you say to use every shot. I said to make hits "everytime", and that includes as many shots as are fired with that load. Obviously, the more rounds (samples) included, the more valid the information becomes. Using "average group size" to indicate the accuracy of a load is self delusional because a few rare small groups tend to "improve" the typical groups. On the other hand, a few large groups indicate the actual (repeatable) group size quite well. Real accuracy, field accuracy, includes those stray rounds many call "flyers" and wish to cut off their wallet groups as if they didn't happen. But, we MUST include those flyers as an intregal part of the accuracy of the load if we wish to be honest with outselves. Statistical analysis may help develop a better load but I can't see that it's any more useful than a simple measurement of the extreme spread. [/QUOTE]
