The more i read, and the more i follow the links that are shared and ready that.. The more i am starting to agree with you..

I want to be as accurate as possible, but I am not a bench shooter, and up to a certain point making minor changes makes a measureable difference.  Some of the bench stuff that i have read, makes me question if the time spent creating a hunting load, is really worth it.


My example is, if the methods i use net me a sub .5 MOA group, with a Standard Deviation of 10, that's good enough for hunting because improving on a SD of 10 i start getting to the point where getting better is almost impossible becuase there is a certain amount of SD that is just part of the powder burn rate varience, and cutting powder with an exacto knife won't make that go away.
