[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1648712, member: 97050"] The OPs question was seemed purely in ballistics. The hit percentage on anything however does have to do with the target size, gun capability and es and sd’s. The further out you go and the smaller the target the less your hit probability is, and the more dialed in your OVERALL solution is going to need to be. Add hunting into the mix, there’s a slew of other questions. Been gone for a little bit and people are still talking about a 6.5’s capability at long range killing. Or terminal performance. Fact is, outside of bullet perforce externally, the design of the bullet alone is important, something that no one ever agrees on, and of course your wind calls. Wind I always put into a separate category because you’re either good at it or not, as it pertains to taking a life. Not 50% correct when shooting steel, 70% of the time. At extreme ranges reading mirage is about the only way to get a accurate mid and far wind. Something probably not practiced on here much. If you can dope all your drifts including Coriolis it’s not a horrible thing. However yes, it’s not terribly relative, unless your goal is hitting a 2 moa target at 2 miles. Then it is relative.
