I reckon it's no different than benching a hunting rifle and shooting 3 or 5 shot groups at 100 yards and quantifying the gun's merits by the size of the groups.
I hunt turkeys with tricked out guns & chokes / loads with optics. I sight in at 30" paper. I then find the densest 10" circle. Within that, I find the 3" core of density and move my optics accordingly. No different than taking my rifle and reloading press to the range and tweaking loads as I go. I don't like to miss when I'm hunting.
As an aside............. I also occasionally hunt turkeys with a 90 year old Iver Johnson Champion 12 gauge and a Winchester Model 21 in 16 gauge, so..............
To each, his own, I guess.............
