[QUOTE="ChrisInKY, post: 2920084, member: 94377"] I was talking about non-animated things. You're talking about professional shooters. Now you want to address range and introduce another complex set of variables. You're here to start an argument ... and I am not. The topic of this thread was seating depth, which is a simple aspect of handloading ... not shooting. A rifle tuned to not throw flyers and [B]ammunition tuned specifically for it[/B] should shoot 3-shot groups of less than .5moa. A competent shooter, familiar with a precision rifle/round combo (like the 6.5), should be able to get much tighter than that. End of story. I don't want to talk about expensive bench rest guns capable of remaining stable through a ten-round string. I don't want to talk about a wind variance of a mile an hour which requires a nominal/felt POA adjustment. I don't want to talk about calculating and adjusting for a Coriolis effect. Have you ever seen what a professional BR shooter does to a target at 100yds? I have. You couldn't score a 10 hole group, because you won't find 10 holes in the target. If I get behind my rifle and shoot .1moa on day one. On day two it's .1moa, But, on day three I can do no better than .5moa ... What does that tell ya? Think about it. [/QUOTE]
