[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1940658, member: 61747"] Es and sd don’t mean much under 500 if the load shoots well enough. I’ve had many many bug hole groups at 100 with absolute crap for es and I’ve had some decent 400-500 groups with load ladder tests with es in the 150 plus range. Es and sd come into play at long ranges and where reliability counts. If you have 100 es at 1000 you’ll be wounding animals or flat out missing. That same load load sub 500 is likely just fine for minute of deer. In the end the desire to have low sd and es for reliable dial to and impacts on targets at various ranges on kill zone size targets. These are high percentages of hits close to aim point. [/QUOTE]
