Quote: However, theres no way for shooting more bullets into a 3 group to make it get smaller. So I dont see the larger sample size being required to rule out a load, unless Im missing something?
They actually say that in the podcast. 3 or 5 shot groups wont tell you if its a great load but it can tell you if its a bad one!
I dont compete, only hunt and plink, usually under 300 yds. So I couldnt care less about having low ES/SDs or a powders temperature sensitivity. Typically load and shoot one 5 shot group. 3 shot groups are just not enough, IMO. If that looks promising, then Ill load another 20 and see how it holds up. .75 MOA/5 shot group is my starting cut off at 100, anything bigger than that, I keep switching powders until it meets my threshold!
