Thread: Accuracy is Relative

Another thing people do is only shot/measure 3 shot groups. If they shot 5x 3 shot groups what would the average or combined group be?

5 shot 1.5 moa used to be good for my hunting rifles, if i can get it tighter that's good, but i'm not going to stress or do another 100 rounds of load development. I'm now shooting further and further so 1 moa 5 shot groups.

Exactly its horses for courses. For those hunting medium game at practical distances super tight groups is not a necessity.
The platform might be capable of 0.25 moa accuracy from the bench.
Add in field conditions.. add a bit more.
Add in fatigue and higher heart rate.
That 0.25 moa accuracy is well out the window.
