[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 2574837, member: 110518"] I think 3 shot groups are good for a hunting rifle but to validate consistency I'll shoot 5 shot groups and once in a while if I feel cocky I'll shot a 10 shot group! When I'm testing 22LR ammo to see what brand/type the rifle likes I always swab the bore then shoot 5 fouling shots with the new brand then shoot a 10 shot group at 50 yards. This gives me a good indication on what the rifle likes. My latest rifle prefers 3 different brands and will shoot them relatively the same with one always shooting just a tad better. There are 3 other brands that if that was all I had I'd say the rifle was junk. I can't say which here without my post getting deleted for rule violation but if you want to know, pm me. [/QUOTE]
