[QUOTE="Saracen, post: 1670512, member: 99044"] 5 round groups are adequate for getting an average, as multiple shots, especially if the barrel isn't cold ( which it won't be without at least 5 minutes rest between each shot). That's one point, but doing 50 rounds to get the data, not only depends on the conditions, such as lighting, temperature etc remaining the same, that's eating into your barrel life. Start with what's known to be a temperature stable powder, then verify it with 5 shot groups. Primer choice and bullet choice, using quality components, should be pretty much irrelevant, as its the powder choice that will be the main variable. [/QUOTE]
