[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2522163, member: 8873"] There is definitely a lot going against the shooter. From inaccurate/inconsistencies in turret adjustment, scope and/or rifle cant, azimuth to target- latitude- Coriolis/Eotvos, AJ, SD in velocity and/or BC, wind speed and velocity, angle to target, changes in altitude/temp/BP/humidity, blah-blah-blah (not to mention anything shooter related!). It’s amazing we can hit anything of relatively small size at anything other than moderate distances, yet here we are. We can tweak and tune and obsess over all the minutiae and still miss. Or things can just come together and amaze even a seasoned shooter. Last time I helped my buddy with a rifle he handed me a new factory Tikka and a box of factory Hornady ammo. I mounted a Vortex scope, did a quick bore sight through the barrel at a 100 yard target, shot 3 into a really small group, made a quick adjustment to center, shot another really small group, input the manufacturer’s velocity into my phone app and proceeded to shoot a really small group at 500 exactly where I was aiming and then did the same at 800, handed him the rifle and said don’t touch anything! 12 rounds and all was done for as far as I think that rifle needs to be shot at deer, his intended target.
