BCA vs Group Monster Barrel - Continued

[Hollis]

Shoot multiple 5rd groups to get a better idea of how a barrel will consistently group and register for POI vs POA.

I don't spend a ton of time messing with 100yd groups once a barrel shows that it will group for me since I much prefer the satisfaction of impact on steel, but I still want to know how it groups out of the gate.

3-round groups that consistently group to POA is fine for a hunting rifle, provided that we're looking at typical hunts where you don't expect to shoot a long string of fire at distances over whatever the accuracy threshold is for the vital zone of the particual game.

I also much more prefer shooting steel targets at long distances over shooting groups at 100 yards. But I am doing a lot of 100 yard groups in proving setup and shooter. But I do believe I am decent shooting skills (with exceptions of occasional pulls). When I use my 770 .243 and my 6.5 Creedmoor rifles, I shoot really tight groups with factory ammo.

For now, I'm shooting more 3 shot groups instead of less 5 shot groups. For example, I will shoot five 3 shot groups instead of three 5 shot groups. The reason I do this is that if I yank one, I only mess up one group. And then there is the psychological effect of shooting 4 really great shots and then choking on the last shot. I am more comfortable with a quick 3 shot group. But I'll need to "grow out" of this and start shooting 5 shot groups once I am more confident - I'm just about there.
