Well, if your sixth shot for some reason is 8"
off your grouping, you can now make that shot your first of a new string 5 group centered around it.
The truth is Most people try for 5 but when that 4th or 5th shot gets away it's,
Hey check out this great 3 Shot Group.

**Alac sez..."As I think you stated, the more shots in a group the better a indicator they are of base accuracy. Until you get that anomaly."

That's SOOO right.  If we could just throw out that pesky fifth round and score the best four wouldn't we all be Champs?

Big Z - meant a avg of 4 - 5 rnd groups and a 20 rnd group. Sorry mate, wasnt clear - ambiguity is our enemy.

Sure defeats the purpose if number six is off the paper - oops hey look at that 5 round group.

What I meant was I tend to look at averages over time, discounting those I call as poor shots. Those aint the guns fault, and anymore I call most of my bad shots. Still have those now and again I scratch my head on, but they are fewer and fewer. Not that Im getting that much better, but Im attuned to what is making a particular shot go astray.

I think a avg of the last ten , ten shot groups id a pretty fair indicator of base accuracy. I have to believe that in the Uber groups, some of the variables are canceling themselves out, rather than the vaiables are all attenunated at the same time. If so we'd shot those all the time out of that rifle.

We're way off on the P/PSS thread, but good to talk to some folks who understand a bit about how things can work.

Arock you've got mail.
