That's all well and good if you can touch the sides mate, but she might seriously need some extra neck tension after all those other expander balls have been through her!
She is, after all, the 2nd most popular calibre out there . . . :

No mate...222 is smaller bolt face so best you stick to them little fella...
22-250 is same bolt face as 308 mate, so best you leave that size action to me...
I cant put up 375 or bigger or i might be arrested.

I usually shoot 4-shot groups when I test load. It's more indicative than 3 shots, and if they shoot good into 4, they usually shoot good into 5. The main problems I have with 5-shot groups when load developing is they use up a lot of brass and projectiles if you want to cover a bit of ground (I shot 6x 4-shot groups today from 42.8-44.8gr 2209 with 123 Lapua Scenars); it takes longer waiting for the barrel to cool down; and I often fudge the fifth shot anyway as it's hard to shoot precisely and consistently for strings on end. Once I find something that works, I start to load around it and shoot a few more to ensure its repeatable.
It's not easy removing the human factor (was it the load, or did I pull that?) as well as the wind in trying to find something that works.
