I test my loads, when working them up, with four individual targets with five shot groups on them and one target that records all twenty shots as an aggregate. I do this several times over a couple of months to make sure I know what to expect from my loads. I am a hunter and I expect the first shot to kill cleanly and quickly. If it doesn't then I am responsible for the needless suffering of that animal that is giving its life to feed my family. It must be dead after the first shot.
