An accurate rifle will shoot tiny 3 shot groups. Tiny 3 shot groups looked at individually does not mean an accurate rifle.

If the rifle is defective you will not be able to make a string of 'tiny 3 shot groups'. So the ability to shoot them does clearly demonstrate the rifle's cold to warm barrelled precision.

*Have a try of this - do a run of 5x 3shot groups and take the average, then again do 3x 5shot groups and take the average.
I reckon there's a good chance you will actually get a higher average with the 3 shot groups as you've had to break your position more often.

Just a working theory - If I remember to do this I'll post up my results (like the wildly flung monkey excrement they may be - just warning everyone in advance)
