[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1331022, member: 87243"] Extensive load development Proper barrel selection Proper twist selection Proper bullet selection Proper action selection Putting it all together correctly Trigger control Breathing control Understanding how to get a consistent shooting position Wind reading (yes, wind is a factor at 100 yards when your ctc group is that small...) Getting every bit of accuracy out of a rifle and shooter Nope......I don't see ANYTHING that applies to long range shooting there. Not one bit. C'mon guys, are you really giving JE flack because he posted this? All he is saying is keep an open mind in our sport and continue to advance it. What is the first thing we do after we get a long range rifle put together? We try to get a load worked up that prints the smallest groups possible at 100-300 yards and pick that load to stretch out. So attaining a 5 shot group at 100 yards well under one one-hundredth of an inch represents zero knowledge that can be used in a long range hunting application? There is no moral that applies to us? I don't know about you, but I sure would like to pick that guys brain about load development. Because I'm fairly certain he is probably better at it than all of us involved in this conversation. You can learn something from every situation. Try to keep an open mind people. If you are certain that there is nothing to be learned, then you will learn nothing. [/QUOTE]
