[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 518289, member: 22242"] you misunderstand what I am saying, I am all for 20 shot groups, in fact that takes out variables. 5 shots is minimum but what I use a lot of times because i dont have the time to shoot 20 shots a lot of times. the variables I am talking about is doing my initial load development at 2-300 yards rather than 500+ that way im taking out environmental variables with the closer range. THEN once I narrow my results and think I have a good load I play with it at about 5-600 and 1000. I shoot a lot of Tikkas and those light little barrels heat up after 2 shots so it would take me ALL day to get 20 shots out of them, so I have just become accustomed to shooting several 5 shot groups. And I wouldnt say a 5 shot group is small most of my rifles shoot under .5 i went out and re zeroed my 338 lapua last night after swapping rings and base and at 200 yards it shot a .25" ragged hole with 5 shots, i dont really feel any further testing is needed.
