Just got through at the range earlier, and while doing a baseline accuracy group with Federal 168gr GMM for my .308 at 100yds, I decided to shoot 5 instead of my normal 3-rd test. After my first three, I was excited as there was really only one hole to be seen in the target. So that's when I pushed it to five rounds. Well, the 4th opened the group from what would have been .291" to 1.23", and the 5th @ 1.31. If I had stopped at 3, this would have been an all time best 3-rd group for me.
So, when it comes to strictly hunting rifles, does it really matter that 5rd groups don't hold together the way 3-rd ones do?
