I hear what you're sayin , and usually all you get is a one, maybe two shot group if you're lucky.
Always a worthwhile exercise knowin where the hole is likely to be though

totally @Bos ya gotta know where that bullets going to land . . . some shooters seem to struggle with it. Could be helpfull if shooters stop concentrating on getting that great group and look at the POI more. If you draw a vertical line thru the target center of some of the groups you'll see, some will fall at 10 oclock, some at 2 0clock, a few at 12 oclock, others low . . that 1/2 MOA shooter with the little groups is more like 1 MOA or 2MOA.
The British military had a practice i liked when i first saw it . . called something like Dispersion, you measure the bullet holes from the center of the target not the group size . . cant see that being popular tho, shooters would have to be honest about their abilities
If you get into LR Varminting like some of my shooting is you soon realise that tiny groups are meaningless if you cant put those bullets into a small target on demand at longer range. i like using a 1/2 inch square at 100yrds, if you can put those bullets inside the target you've got a real .5MOA setup & you can move out further, if there wide of the mark you have work to do.
its stopped raining so ramble over . . R
