I know what they're saying. Applying statistics to this analysis can be fun. I guess. I have a degree in M.E. plus certification in 6 Sigma, so yes Jordan is correct in requesting a sample group of 30 specimens for analysis. Problem is this works for 30 data points, but not with 30 groups of 5 data points.
I have a 21 pound test platform that measures 1 3/16" dia at the end of the straight 26" barrel. This eliminates most of the variation I'm likely to induce into the system. If I place one hole on top of another at 100yds it's game on. If I see a shot fly off where I know I wasn't holding it's game over.
