How many shots should be in a group when calculating moa?
(I know 2 shot groups don't show much other than luck....)

.My best ones are always 1
Only in my dreams.My objective is 20 shots inside the 10 ring (6” circle) at 600 yards

A tiny group in the 9 ring would suck
Mine either shoot good enough that people think I'm a liar, or so bad that it gets iron sights so I have an excuse...To me if you’re going to claim something is an moa rifle it should be able to shoot a 5 shot moa group at will. Meaning you can take it out of the safe, set it on the bags, and shoot multiple 1 moa groups. I have several rifles that will do this, I have several that won’t.
Honestly though everyone likes shooting little groups, but even more important than that to me is if I take the gun out and shoot it any season, any temperature, how far is the first shot from point of aim? I’ve had and still have rifles that would shoot nice tidy little groups at will, but those groups weren’t always necessarily in the same place. For me shooting groups is for load development. Once I’m done with that though I’m really only interested in how well it shoots to point of aim.
If my largest group centered on the bull is 3/4 inch then I feel safe calling a moa gun.How many shots should be in a group when calculating moa?

My property doesn't go that far, so your 600 yards may as well be the moon. I'm limited to 430 and I'm happy it I can wind call a 6" plate every time. The wind destroys me.My objective is 20 shots inside the 10 ring (6” circle) at 600 yards

I honestly care less about how many shots are in the group as I do about how many groups the rifle will repeat the same group size.
However many makes you happy.
