Here is the offending group. You can clearly see the low group (with a flyer) and the one on target but you can also claim some 3 shot groups in there.
If you are honest with yourself, 3 shot groups can be ok but it's hard to argue with a 10 shot group.
Yep, but if you took deviation from center on multiple 3 shot groups, it would really end up all the same.
Just easier to see it by far in a 10 shot group.
Off topic a bit, but I won't shoot big groups when load testing. Heck I usually use the Audette anyway, and then play with 3 shot groups... because if the first 3 shot group is horrible, why would I want to shoot more shots... another 2 to 7....
But on final testing, I'd shoot what we shot generally, IE if it was testing for 10 shot rapid fire ammo, I'd shoot multiple 10 shot groups.
I never did shoot 22 shot groups off a bench though for the slow fire strings, though I would test them in matches from the sling and irons, different batches of 22....
