[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 659467, member: 24624"] I 100% agree with BartB. I would add that ES is a nearly useless stat. SD does have meaning in the context of larger sample sizes. Having a well established MV with low SD is useful for predicting drop at varying distances. But, rifle precision, stock design, and shooting technique have a huge influence on actual results. Hence, straight bottom stocks on many benchrest and f-class rifles vs tapered hunting stocks that may be easier to position in hunting situations. The point of my original post here wasn't to be cheeky. Rather, it's hard to improve that last little bit. But, it's easy to do just one thing wrong (inconsistent) and blow it. -- richard [/QUOTE]
