[QUOTE="Jaxdialation, post: 1143563, member: 83388"] Didn't realize Newton did benchrest :) I am the only one that shoots my rifles. Statistics, sample sizes and confidence intervals are applicable here. As are concepts of marginal cost (time, materials and wear and tear) and marginal return. Also consider that even after load development every shot is a new item added to sample size. In other words sampling never stops. Consider the tiny sample sizes used to predict the actions of the entire population in the US, with a high degree of confidence. My conclusion - 5 shots each of different loads where only one controllable variable is changed is sufficient for me to be confident I've determined a good load. In particular when I can see the changes that occur between loads. If I see deviation in later application, I can investigate. I've never had to do this though. [/QUOTE]
