RE: Scope Sighting Question
3 shot groups are what most guys use, it gives you a good idea for tuning, does not over heat the barrel, easy on the shoulder and so on. Like mentioned it will help to eliminate "Chasing of the Bull" on your range sessions, not to mention help reduce wasted time, effort and ammo.
It is highly possible your rifle does not like the loads your feeding it you can try a different manufacturer, style or grain size for comparisons.
Good Luck

RE: Scope Sighting Question
Shoot all three back to back.
I have a Browning A-bolt .223. It hates Winchester ballistic silver tips. It will shoot other bullets of the same size, but not the Winchesters. It will shoot the cheapest ammo money can buy better, even the Russian surplus ammo. When I first got the gun, I tried Winchester, Federal, Remington, and Hornady each in a variety of bullets. The same gun that will shoot a clover leaf with Hornadys will be lucky to get a 2" group from the Winchesters.
