Thread: 3 shot groups are useless!

OK, how about this scenario that isn't that unlikely . . . .

So old mate has a rifle that will do a three shot group, then heats up or otherwise goes to pot. A deer pops out at a comfortable 180M. But it's moving quite a bit. Finally it pauses but only the head is visible. Old mate confidently takes a high neck/head shot - WTF - he's not seen a wee puff of wind, or was a bit over confident and the shot has drifted a bit and the deer is running with its jaw blown off. Reload, quick shot on the run, miss then repeat miss. Now we are up to three shots, deer runs into a gully then comes out again running at 320M. It pauses but another hurried miss. Damm, down to the last round in the mag, hot barrel and difficult shot at 350M. At this point I'd prefer if my rifle would shoot a decent 5 or 10 shot group
