Yeah, but those extra two shots usually depress me.
Besides, that skinny featherweight barrel just doesn't handle heat well at all. I think 3shot groups are going to show me what the gun is capable of in field conditions.
Often I'll take a .22 plinker and a couple handguns so I can mess around waiting for the barrel to cool. Don't have the patients to take a 1/2 hour to shoot a five shot group, usually forget what I was doing by then!
I normally take something else as well, but this was to be a short trip during lunch. I didn't want to tote a bunch with me.
BTW, I used a micrometer to measure my groups. My best was a .45" group with the 43.5gr load. I also shot a 5shot .7" group with the same load after 30 shots and a hot barrel.
Target on the left with dime is 3shot .45" group. Target on right with quarter is 5shot .7" group with hot barrel.
