Been reloading for years and this is a question I often ask people.

Is it possible to just a group with only 3 shots? I mean after the
barrel is fouled,etc..If one is shooting from a good solid rest,
it seems to me 3 would be enough to make a judgement call
as to if it is going to be a decent load or not..

Plus I am getting so I hate to waste the powder and bullets,,

So tell me your thoughts or ideas...John
