    I read an article once where the writer posed this question to a statistician.

    The writer shot five shot groups as a habit.

    The statisticain calculated that the confidence he could have in the accuracy of his load would go up significantly if he shot 7 shot groups instead.

    The caculations were not part of the article so I have no way to confim the veracity.
