[QUOTE="TopPin, post: 2721351, member: 109070"] Es and Sd numbers are important, but not life threatening in the accuracy of a rifle. A lot of it comes down to how meticulous you are with your loading, accuracy of powder measured, seating depth, primer choice, brass is a big factor, and proper neck tension. Consistent neck tension is a big factor in ES and SD numbers. Single digit numbers are obtainable, but if you have an SD less than 20 you’re fine shooting long range. Now if you’re wanting to shoot bench rest, and shoot the smallest groups you can, then welcome to the black hole of reloading. [/QUOTE]
