I use both. It's rare that my most accurate groups are created by loads with good ES/SD. I group at 300
This may be a stupid question and way over simplified, but it is something that has been bugging me, so thought I would ask.
Whenever I read instructions about shooting OCW, Ladder or other methods of group development, I keep seeing comments to the effect of...
"In most instances the best loads have the smallest Extreme Spread (ES) and Standard Deviation (SD) over the chronograph compared to other loads."
If this is the case, why do we shoot for groups? Wouldn't introducing the opportunity for user error just add confusion? Why not just shoot the loads over the Chronograph and make a decision based on the ES and SD data? Wouldn't that eliminate the user error in shooting groups?
Flame On.
