Just curious, but why do we measure groups with 3 or 5 shots for regular hunting rifles and 10 shots for ARs?
Is it because when society collapses and I'm finally able to bug out the gangs of roving n'er-do-wells will try to steal my peanut butter so I need a barrel capable of holding accuracy as the action heats up to the point that I'm grabbing "field pick up mags" off of my fallen foes? Cuz that's the only reason I've ever been given, and it's pretty absurd for 99% of AR owners.
Not that it matters, but, people make absurd accuracy claims based off groups that are not a good measure of true accuracy. In the real world it makes no difference. But, when someone gets on a forum and makes accuracy claims they need to be backed up with a significant amount of data in order for them to be a credible source. Many people are satisfied with one or two 3 shot groups and will say their rifle is X MOA accurate based on them. Just doesn't work that way.
