[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 3095192, member: 91783"] There are a few of us unfortunate souls that believe in precision shot placement not just accurate shot placement. Sadly, it becomes an obsession for us, we don't get mad at ourselves when we don't put the round exactly where we intended it to be, but we do study on it so that we can figure out what went wrong. Did I let my finger move to push or pull to the side did I flinch some or let my breathing interfere with it? We play with whatever firearm we get trying to make it a better fit for us, a better trigger, a better bedding to the stock, does the front or back action screw need to be torqued more or less if so, why? We tend to read and study on it we learn more about the bullet itself, we study the powders and how they work, we look at the brass itself and try to get each piece the same as we can to the others, we worry about the seating depth of our bullets compared to the lands of the rifling. We talk to others with the same affliction to try and pry some of their hard-earned knowledge from them that we can put to use for our own needs. We read books written from the past and present, by others that had like minds or a need for precision shooting, I was recommended some reading and some of it is way over my head and was done by way more complicated and cluttered minds than mine, some of it was written by people more like me and in a manner that even I could comprehend and get some good out of it.
