I was wondering if there is a standard or an average amount of rounds you fire through a chronograph, to determine the velocity with a specified load. For example do you shoot 3 rounds,5, or 10 rounds than get the average?
I am trying to determine how many rounds of different loads I should reload to perform a ladder test. I know that the rounds are loaded incrementally from a starting point to determine which load is most accurate for your rifle. But once I find the load for my rifle would shooting 3 rounds of that load be enough to determine the average velocity or should I go higher?
