I did read the MGM article, but I didn't see how many shots were fired at each length. Did they only fire one shot, or did they fire a number of shots to improve the statistical average? Three to five shots would be nice, and ten per cut would be a fantastic number to give good data.
The Old Virginian, You make a good point. I could not tell either, how many shots per inch. A local custom handloader did the loading and shooting for MGM. MGM did the barrel cutting and cleaning. With that division of labor, surely they did at least 3-shot groups.
They did say that there was some vertical stringing and unexplained velocity variation in some of the GROUPS shot with the .460 S&W.
This suggests 3-shot or more-shots than that per load, per inch of barrel cuts.
One-shot data points would be bogus indeed. 10-shot groups would have smoothed those "curves" out nicely.
