[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 2948297"] The reason to shoot 5 shot groups is as much a mental test as it is an equipment test...I like to go out on both good and bad days to evaluate loads and a working against conditions will give one the mental workout as well as an overall skills test. I have used life sized targets at range, versus scoring targets and have spent the entire day in as close to as real hunting conditions as I could and then fired 20 rounds or less and collected the target, then compared it to my observations and where I thought I had hit, boy can your ego take a hit. Good at 250...move out to 500 then to 700 then 1000. Clean bore shot versus foul bore shot, means complete clean of the rifle between shots.only way to find out if both go to same point of aim consistently at long range. Competition versus hunting what does my rifle do when it gets hot, where will it put rounds when wearing a brake versus a suppressor. Practice each shot as if it is the only shot, slow and smooth is fast, spend more time reading the conditions than shooting and write down or record your observations. [/QUOTE]
