I do look at the SD and ES out of curiosity, but the truth is, I am concentrating on the groups. If my 500 yd groups are good enough, I really don't worry about the numbers. The same with trajectory, if I know where to hold the hashmark to hit the kill zone at a given yardage, the actual numbers don't matter.
Now if a load groups badly, I will look at the ES and SD
numbers, to see if they indicate an inconsistency, and if it could be due to a component or an issue with my loading.
