[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1892446, member: 2736"] The error has to increase with distance, so just like spin drift, it is .01 MOA at 100 yards with my load. at 1000 yards it becomes 1.0 MOA . Any alignment error gets greater, the farther distance it travels. If you draw a straight line and make it 1o off, it will stay 1o off for ever but the distance from the targeted point with no 1o offset will get greater the farther the distance gets. To a smith like myself and many more, any error is a problem so we avoid any thing that is not true and level. Nothing is perfect, but we try to get as close to it as possible so top performance is possible. No one is really wrong to the point that they cant compensate for errors, But it is just easier to make something easier so you can concentrate on other variable things than need to be compensated for like wind. If everything is true and level, wind value is normally one adjustment. If canting the rifle, you have to add the wind effect and the canting effect that can be both more wind and elevation in addition to wind value. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
