[QUOTE="Azrael, post: 1496171, member: 106296"] If you really want to know how your rifle shoots your ammo, take it to the range and shoot all of it at the same target. Measure the group and you're done. You don't have any left, but you will have your answer, and a couple empty MTM boxes. The whole ammo supply group is the "population". Within the confines of that population your rifle is just a random number generator. Your groups are a "sample". How big does that sample have to be to predict accurately how big the population will be? A three shot group isn't even a great predictor of what the next 3 shot group will look like. [/QUOTE]
