[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1669401, member: 26077"] Thee idea that groups with larger numbers of shots improves the accuracy of results is the result of [B][I]statistical measurement issues[/I][/B]. It also assumes that the variables affecting the 5th shot are exactly the same as what affected the first shot. With thin barrels and heat build up we know this is patently [B]NOT[/B] true, and realistically it isn't even true in heavier barrels unless the rate of fire is slow enough to ensure adequate cooling to ambient for each shot. Let us not confuse statistical analysis with real world results obtained when shooting groups and not letting the barrel cool fully between every shot. Just because a 5 shot group is the accepted norm does not make it the right answer in every situation. If you can shoot 5 3 shot groups in a row that are under .5 and you can do that three days in a row then you really do have a 1/2 minute gun and load. Shooting 5 shot groups won't make this more true. [/QUOTE]
