Group Sizes

[Desert_Racer]

3 shot groups are worthless and for gays. We all know what a respectable 5 shot group size is.

What is a respectable group size for a 10 shot group? 20 shot group? Seems like a lot of people are moving in the 10 shot group direction, which makes sense to me if we want to see what the gun is going to do once it heats up.

Bolt gun or gas gun? Should be different standards in my opinion

If my .75 5 shot gun shoots a 1.25 10 shot group I'm plenty happy. Nothing scientific about that, but the only thing gayer than 3 shot groups is shooting groups of any size just to shoot groups, so I only do it as a necessary evil of load development and fine tuning zero.

I agree. Took my new MARS-H out today for the first time and wanted to see how this CL barrel shot. Wasn’t great.

My 16” mars-h with hand loads shoots 5 round groups right around an inch. Definitely not great.
