Yep, I agree. I had a rifle that would put first shot always well away from the rest. It was a PIA and didn't last long.
I get that if you are chasing the absolute in rifle performance, you might need more, but it's also worth knowing that the first 3 rounds in the mag will be consistent for hunting. And even if after that, groups started to enlarge, Will you really need those shots often? is it going to make you sell the rifle?
In my case, even if a 10 round group opened up too 3x the mean 3 shot group, then Im still dealing with a MOA capable rifle. Id be happy. And Im dealing with a very slim profile barrel, that I never intend to heat up too much.
