I know, it’s sad to wring out what a rifle is really doing.
??
My takeaway from the loooong video is: (yes homer, I watched it all) shoot a larger sample-set and then have even more confidence that when the trigger is pulled, it’ll hit within the sample-set group size. ie: know your load/rifle, know your limits, know the conditions, make a clean kill.
A couple+ years ago, we switch from 3 shot groups, for hunting rifles, to 5 shot groups because it’s a 15%+/- more accurate representation of what the rifle will actually do.
All this minutia is the Nth degree stuff and doesn’t apply if a guy doesn’t like to tinker and/or doesn’t stretch the range a bit.
I posted it to help if someone wants it. I didn’t post it to say it’s the only way that good things can happen. I’m sure y’all have had way more than your share of success!
Funny: I had a buddy (he’s passed on to his reward) who put lots of stock in a 2 shot group.
We’ve known forever that a 3 shot group will tell you if the load is bad but not if it’s good. 3 shot groups are fine IF 5-7, 3-shot groups are fired and the groups are overlaid to get a true picture of what’s going on.
Oops! I didn’t use the word “run” so I must not know of what I speak. Haha
Keep up the good work,
