I find it is well worth patterning, I enjoy it and it almost always reinforces what I think the gun and load is doing. The 40 yard 30" circle % is the measure for shotgun performance, same as sighting in and trying to group shots with a rifle. It shows the actual performance of what the gun and load is doing rather than ancedotal evidence of how it is performing. Things I have recently learned, my Rem '94 10 bore would be good for turkey out to 40 to 45 yards using just 1 1/8 ounce of #6. I also learned Ballistic Products X inserts opened the pattern in the gun with the same load from 93% to 58%. I also learned that if I do my part my DHE will crush any trap target from the 16 yd line with a mere 7/8 of #8.
