[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 3080425, member: 1951"] What I would argue is average reloaders grab a method, load up a string and go with the best result. This will often give you a 0.3-0.8moa group. If we latch on to a single result and go, it is like playing the lottery. If we take this result and reshoot with another variable, but repeat the previous best, we get confirmation or not. Then we take that best and vary something else small, we get a 3rd confirmation. Then we load 100 and go practice, we get more confirmation or rejection of results. Add into this that most scenarios are well handled by a 1.5 moa load and you can easily develop a load that gives you good groups….or good enough. I find when I hang my hat on a 0.3 moa group, I’m often disappointed changing range or conditions. Generally this was the load falling apart. Finding pressure, backing off and shooting 20 is a good way to see where a load is at. The difference is I have a real 20 same load & conditions sample to compare to another try…… vs a bunch of 5 shot groups shot at nearly the same load, but not the same. [/QUOTE]
