    When you shoot enough, you can end up getting a feeling, simply from shooting the gun, that the load is "right"

    I've lost count of the times I've said it to shooting buddies..." I could pull that trigger blindfolded, and they would still go in the same hole"

    Sounds cobblers, but its happened to me that many times, its untrue.

    Personally, I usually shoot 5 rd groups.

    3 round groups are just an easy way of making the figures look good, and to the uninitiated, sells a gun etc. If you get a flyer in a 3 rounder, you can easily dismiss that group, whereas it becomes a little more obvious if the other four have gone in one hole.

    I usually settle on a load, then shoot 5 x 5 groups, and average out the 25 rounds.

    A recently discovered method [satterlee ] for me though, gets you to a usable load quickly. I then like to mess about fine tuning on depth etc.

    Know what you mean. Sometimes I am working hard and the group is crud but then the right load just seems to group on its own. Odd but gratifying.

    Satterlee hasn't been 100% reliable for me. I got a fantastic load when I rebarreled the AX in 243 in 10 rounds (bit of luck sure) but got a real dog for the semi weight 270. Looked great but then threw occasional 3" vertical at 100 on the range. It feels a bit circular- if I start with components that are likely to give me a good load then it works quickly but if the load may be a bit flaky then it doesn't seem to be robust enough to find the narrow bands.  Maybe thats the point.

    That's not a view with a huge amount of evidence to back it up, more of an idle thought...

    its a situation that has been caused by the consumers who dont use their local shops and sure enough they are the ones moaning .

    nope. if you are online you are at a minimum a national business. it is caused by crap businesses offering to sell stuff they just don't have and cant get.  its called a scam. crap businessmen not customers.

    If you can't see stock before you buy then don't.  If they don't complete the contract get the card company to cancel. Easy.
