Thats a good point .... so 5 shots should do it ?

I'll be working up a load for my AR. Beginning with the starting load and working up in .3 grain intervals. My question has to do with "warming up" the barrel with some commercial loads prior to documenting my handload results. Whats a good guideline for the number of shots I should fire...
