    My system is to shoot a groups of 10 consecutive shots, and measure the average to center distances, not the extreme spreads ("group size"). I scan my targets into an electronic format, and use software to calculate the average to center distance.

    I think anything less than 10 shots has questionable value. I find that I get repeatable (reliable) results with the average to center measurements.

    16" LaRue Stealth and a 16" BA Modern 300 BLK.

    I have never done accuracy testing, but assuming I am a good enough shot, what are your methods/procedures for said testing.

    Also, I am rocking iron sights rn (budget) but am looking to get an optic. Possibly a 1-6x scope. Good idea?

    Thanks homies.
    Look up Molon’s posts. I assume his test methods wont be replicated exactly, but I consider them benchmark for home-testing methods.

    Emulating them as much as possible shouls be the goal.

    I should have read the comments first.
