I have extreme spreads (ES) exceeding 70 fps on my loads, yet they group consistently less than moa out to 300 yards (my current range limit) in my 700 SPS Tacticals in .308 and .223. The loads are:
.308 168gr Nosler CC over 42.0 IMR4895 LC prepped Brass.
.223 69gr Nosler CC over 24.0 H4895 Lapua Brass
They run circles around Federal GMM in accuracy, yet the FGMM shows much lower ES on the chronograph.
I'm not one to look a "gift house in the mouth", but just how important is all this ES business do you think?
