Maybe it does. I suspect that unless you shoot in the 'ones' you probably won't see any difference between the target and std actions.

The ports are just what people like. As Fuj put it, it is more for convenience than anything else. Such as, why have ejected rounds coming out in the midst of your ammo box, spotting scope, note pad, etc, etc? Some, like me, remove the ejector anyway and pluck the empty case from the chamber.
