    ES (Extreme Spread) is probably more important for long range shooters. With big variations in speed the bullet will impact differently so if you can get loads with ES of under 20 fps you would be onto a winner. For normal hunting ranges even out to 500 yards I think your load with an ES of 80 fps should be fine. As said earlier human factor is probably the biggest factor affecting accuracy.
