Yeah the idea that a 'flyer' is almost definitely the ammunition (or at least not you or the rifle), with a 10-shot group makes sense.
I usually find myself wondering 'Why' when I get a flyer with a 5 shot group.

A 5-shot rimfire group can be an absolute mind-bender when it comes to the question 'WHY?'. In the end, with some of my 5 shot groups, I just have to enjoy the confusion and be satisfied with shooting a great group once in a while.
