I honestly do not know what prompted pluckit's post. I just assumed I read it wrong and had to come back a couple of times and read it again before I finally decided to put up reply. I guess that is why they call these forums an 'open forum'.
At least you had a target to show... most times now days I do not even shoot paper targets... I just lay out a bunch of clay pigeons at various ranges elevations and angles and shoot them. They are more rewarding than a piece of paper. Then often I go to shooting the broken pieces of birds working on the really difficult shots. I guess this makes me think I am improving my abilities...

If I'm trying to illustrate the effect of changing some variable in a load I generally post a sequence of targets, some pretty good, some not so good. But it's natural to want to post those targets that really make you smile and I'll often post the best target(s) from a shoot.
However, if anyone want's to start a thread with the worst targets ever shot, I'M IN! Your bad results can't hold a candle to my bad results.

If a person doesn't have a lot of bad groups then that person is not doing much load testing.

I feel I should appologize for my earlier post in regards to SJ's posting of a very nice group. I see MD's postings of amazing groups all the time and have never commented negatively on them and had no reason to do so about SJ's group. So it will not happen again and I'm sorry.
