[QUOTE="Buster Hemlock, post: 1956846, member: 109327"] It really depends what the intended use of the rifle is when determining what is acceptable for ES and SD. Lower is definitely better but chasing single digit SD and teens for ES isn't necessary if it's a 300 yard deer rifle. If it's a 800+ deer rifle or competition rifle, different story. Plug into a ballistic app the high and low velocities, your ES and see how much the elevation differs at the range you intend to use your rifle and decide for yourself. I have a .243 win and it would drop 10 shots in 3/4" inch at 100 yards with a ES of 150+ FPS, take it out to 300+ and it was a pattern not a group. Needless to say I did some work to get stuff tightened up for my intended use [/QUOTE]
