The only way you can answer this is by shooting your standard load and see when accuracy starts to drop off.

That’s why I asked. Missed a couple of shots today and one in particular that was an easy one. It’s had 75 rounds through it since new and not cleaned since it was new and sighted in etc. I might start doing it around the 40 to 50 mark from here on in.
