[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1679652, member: 10291"] Bryan Litz hit the nail on the head in his first publication. Of all the shooting variables there are two “in-determinants” that plague the long range shooter. One is the absolute determination of the wind condition. The other, relevant to this discussion, is the consistency/integrity of each individual cartridge. We don’t know how it “actually” performs until it’s fired. We try to close the gap with wind dopes with tools, practice and the accumulation of experience. We try maximize the consistency and predictability of each round with very carefully constructed hand loads....that we can personally measure, test, and control. I’m not willing to take the leap of faith with even premium factory ammo for that one opportunity on a trophy animal at extended range. [/QUOTE]
