[QUOTE="John Klingenberg, post: 1679280, member: 107749"] In many years teaching military courses I've decided that at about 550 yards is where things change, doesnt matter the caliber. You can teach up to 550 pretty quick. Students stay pretty consistent and hit the majority of times. You can make mistakes behind the gun that are absorbed by the statistics of an accurate weapon system. I.E. The probability of a hit due to the ammo, time of flight, and general accuracy of the rifle. But I noticed that progress slows down after that and it takes longer to make consistent hits on smaller targets. The problem gets expanded exponentially as range stretches. 550 is my magic number.
