Thread: Rifle and reloaded ammo accuracy

There is a fairly predictable curve when it comes to 3 shot vs 5 shot vs 10 shot. Brian Litz has an entire chapter on dispersion in his latest book.

I think people also confuse an undefined "consistent point of impact" for 1 or 2 shots with a hunting rifle with accuracy and precision.

To me, whatever claim you make must be repeatable. And it also needs to be seen in the context of statistical probability. If you claim that you shoot 0.5 MOA groups, then it should be something that you can demonstrate on a regular basis, not just a single fluke 3 shot group you shot once in your life :-)

Even if you take all the external factors out (shooter, barrel heating up, wind etc) there is a normal amount of dispersion for any system.

And to all the 3-shot group guys on here, shoot a 3 X 3 X 3 grid on a single page, allowing enough time for the barrel to cool down....
