Seems high, but there's a lot of variables. Rolling direction is very important. Specimen size plays a big role, too, if you're messing around with non-standard specimen geometries. You didn't mention anything about casting, but if the material is at all heat-treatable property variations will be all over the map, particularly if the material is used as-cast. Extruded material is fairly directional, too.
