[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 674987, member: 5302"] Good point. Then you can shoot a few more 4-shot groups and only make public the smallest one. I call this "benchrestitis" 'cause benchresters rarely, if ever, mention the biggest groups they shoot. Like the ballistics engineer at Lake City Army Ammo Plant told me when I'd called them about a bad lot of 7.62 match ammo. He referred to a conversation he had with a new kid in his department who joined him in looking at an 8-inch group of 200 some bullet holes from a test of match ammo at their 600-yard range. The new kid said "Look at all those 1 inch 5-shot groups." To which the old timer said: "Yes they look pretty good. Too bad they're not all at the same place." [/QUOTE]
