I am not quite sure what you are indicating here... but shooting 50 shots in range session really is not that uncommon, especially when you are doing some field testing...
Here is just one target that I shot doing some field testing awhile back with one of my Knights...
By my count this is 21 shots just a 50 yards. After that I moved the target to 100 and continued testing. I would bet I easily shot another 20 rounds.
Getting tight groups @ 100 yards with a good ML is not much of a problem these days either. His is a 94 yard target shot with the Knight.
One of the reasons I quit shooting centerfire guns is that I can go out with a jug of powder, bullets, sabots and shoot as much as I want to. It doesn't make a lot of sense for me to go out and shoot 10-12 rounds and call it good. I really want to make the trip worth while so I shoot - the more I shoot the more fun it is.
Another thing I really enjoy doing after testing is shootin breakable targets... so for relaxation after shooting paper ot after finishing a testing round, I will put clay pigeons out various ranges and pick them off... so what I guess I am saying when I go shoot - I make it worth while and enjoyable...
