Everyone finds loads that seem to always throw one bullet (sometimes two) out of the group on a pretty regular basis. It would seem that the mean radius method would cover this up when talking about group size. It sounds better than it is when you measure it that way. Working as a quality engineer for many years, this seems like a way to make something look better than it actually is. It doesn't show extreme spread? Makes me think of Mark Twain. He once said that if a man is standing with one foot in a bucket of ice water and the other in a bucket of boiling water, on average he's quite comfortable.
