[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 108874, member: 2011"] [ QUOTE ] Three shots will work to get an idea but then test the load again and again (on seperate days in differing weather conditions) in three shot groups to verify that it still works. If the sd goes up or down 1 or two feet per second over the course of the re-test, then it will work well for you. [/ QUOTE ] 100% Agree [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] One can get a lot more mileage out of many 3 shot strings than 1 10 shot string, IF you're LRH preping not BR preping. By the time I have settled on a load that looks good, the first 3 shot ES and SD look good. The next 3 shot string zeros at a chosen distance. Then next several 3 shot string are for drop chart development out to as far as the rifle should reach. By then you have the SD and ES of sufficient number of shots, drop chart is preped, you're ready to go "harvest" somethin' and you're barrel isn't warn out. Probably about 30 shots or so. [/QUOTE]
