I have come to like a 3 shot group for testing.I have been for sometime now testing with 3 shot groups while working up in my powder charge.When I find the charge I want I then see what 10 will do 2/3 times with different lengths of the loaded round,and what ever load shoots the best.I then try it again to make sure the load,rifle and me are all working on the same page.So far this way of doing things has made me some pretty good ammo.
