5 shots is a waste..

I'll add that a 22lr does everything a centerfire does riding bags. Some of it is easier to notice with the slight recoil. And of course you can shoot much more while you're figuring it out.

I barely made it out of STAT 201 alive. So, I'll pass comment of how many per group.

Well, not really. I was reviewing some data today and found nearly everyone in a research group clearly do not understand how to do a common statistical calculation. These are hard science and engineering people. Which is to say people you'd think could shoot, can't, and should start there first, because math is neither here nor there for most of us.

Other than the first 10 or so out of a new barrel I've never seen any reason to shoot at 100 yards.

Well to be absolutely truthful my range is only 97.5 yards. Seeing how the majority of my hunting shots are from 72--216 yds, 97.5 seems like a good sight in range.

sounds reasonable

I'll wager you will have more power using 2-shot groups than 5 shot groups for any given number of shots fired. 2-d random distributions are technically Reyleigh (and I may have misspelled that). But bivariate normal is probably sufficient with room to spare.

Since I primarily shoot to hunt I really should shoot 30 separate cold barrel shots onto a common target, but I just don't have the time.

I tried a lead sled once…it ended up being returned. It completely changed my POI.

I don't think that using it for sight in would be consistent with "real world" shooting. My purpose is to hold exacting steadiness for group. Taking the shooters wobble out of the equation gives a repeatable point of aim.
