[QUOTE="Autorotate, post: 430530, member: 8073"] Concepts that are difficult to absorb/understand are often put in the "witchcraft" category before we give them their due. What if.......just what if......the progression of a accuracy/precision trend from a shorter range, to the results seen at a longer one was due to [B][U]two[/U][/B] components.... 1st component....angular deflection of shot placement due to shooter/load error will continue to be manifested in a linear function at distance. i.e. I yank a shot one MOA/MIL left at 200 yards, it will now be two MOA/MIL left at 400, and six MOA/MIL left at 600, and so on.... the 2nd component...Lack of accuracy/precision due to the bullet "not going to sleep"....hmmmmm.....it doesn't seem any of our longer/higher BC projectiles are immediately stabilized in terms of pitch/yaw by the model below.... So...it would seem if one had a very precise rifle, and was an outstanding marksman, firmly grasp the fundamentals of shooting a rifle, and had consistent/precise ammunition, to minimize the effects of the first component listed above, that Kirby's results (and others) results might very well be plausible, and even accounted for by ballistic models..... My dumbest day will be the day I'm too smart to learn.... Good luck and keep it fun! Go shoot at long range! [IMG]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pF8W5liSRc&feature=player_embedded#![/IMG] [/QUOTE]
