[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 565600, member: 3733"] Bart is trying to get across the point that it is not an absolute, that recoil may affect the actual point of impact relative to where the barrel is actually pointing. For a 22lr that weights 20 lbs and a drop from line of sight of lets say 5" at 100 yards, the barrel most likly is pointing 5" high at 100 yards relative to the aiming point on the target. For a 416 hoochie banger, at 8 lbs, the barrel may actually be pointing at or below the line of sight at 100 yards, due to the slightest amount of muzzle jump or flip as the bullet exits the barrel. The pistol analagy he used was meant to bring this point to light. This is also part of the reason different shooters with the same gun hit in different locations. [/QUOTE]
