Over the years I have found when talking to many shooters, that load development results seems to be more the focus than actual shooting practice!

My Magnetospeed does what I need it to do, since I stopped buying and selling rifles every year.lol
While I do see people shooting for practise, you are correct, shooting is usually to develop loads, or to sight in, for many people.
And I have witnessed people shooting over a chronograph, without even setting up a target. One person told me that he doesn't bother shooting groups, because it is a waste of time, he just shoots a ladder, looks for the velocity to level off, and that determines his load. Another person told me that he just shoots strings, and chooses the lowest ES instead of shooting groups.
