Three shots test the load. Five shots test the shooter. Not many shoots can consistently hold the same shoulder pressure in a hunting rifle for 5 shots.

I find the best use of a 3 shot group is to identify loads during development that aren't any good. Tight 3 shot groups may ( probably will) expand when turned into statistically useful 10 shot...

I ask again, what is the specific issue ? Are you looking for a particular speed that is not achievable with a 16 inch barrel ? "Optimal" is a question of opinion. Probably 22 to 24 inch if...

2 or 3 thou is what I usually do. Not sure about pull them out, it also depends on how deep you seat the projectile. Usually you can feel when neck tension is too much, when you have to force the...
