    Going to be honest you just seem like a plain c@*t. But you literally posted something that is not useful in any world bitching about his post being useless. Its pretty simple all he's adding is that...

    Nowadays I usually have the semblance of a group in 15-25 rounds. This is what has worked for me but I'm by no means experienced or advising this is the best way. I usually use load data and...

    Unless every shot is going to be a clean bore shot in the field, you need to know how it will shoot with a fouled bore, so yes. 3-5. 3 if it's a rifle I know shoots well and I'm shooting lots of...
