At the risk of sounding pedantic, statistics will tell us that ten shot groups are larger than 5-shot groups.
That also explains why the zero seems to change when shooting 3 or 5 shot groups on different days.
So I advocate shooting small number groups on different days and tracking group centers. The center of the macro group is much closer to one's true zero.
Hunters should also track the impact point of the first shot each time on tihe range. The center of the collected first shots is close to the "zero" one will see on the field.
For several years I kept a playing card for each rifle, the card would get shot with the first round on a range trip. Interesting what the card over time can tell you about yourself, the rifle and load.
