The problem I see is that ultimate accuracy is almost impossible to achieve because aside from ammo brand choices there is a problem of variations between batches, the one component that the shooter cannot control. With center fire ammo a shooter has much more control even when he shoots 100s and 100s of rounds on a regular basis.
I wish there was a way to order additional additional ammo by specific batches once you've found a winner~!

Wishing is not a strategy. Magnificent grasp of the obvious by the way.

Recreational Accuracy and Competitive Accuracy are 2 different things.
All Shooters pretty much know this. I will just leave it at that.

I tend to believe that "one-hole" is "one-hole" whether scored or unscored. Is that wrong~?

There's a really interesting video which I found supports a previous discussion about "pinching triggers".
We all know 22plinkster is a guy who knows something about shooting. This video is about checking out a recently introduced Springfield .22 but I want you to watch the placement of his right hand when he shoots. His hand is nor around the wrist of the rifle. He instead aligns his grip to a position above the trigger which I have found to create a real advantage in that when the hand is placed around the wrist of the rifle there is an imperceptible pressure exerted which moves the muzzle just a ultra-tiny bit off target~!

Yes, on a score target where that one hole is on the target makes a big difference.

shooting groups where the first shot lands determine all others that follow hopefully.

There is…it’s called lot testing and case buying.

WRONG NOT EVEN CLOSE

Who offers buying one box for trial and allows lot purchasing if you are happy with results achieved with the first box~????

MY POINT
Doing something at home by yourself or on the range by yourself is an entirely different deal than doing it in a competition.

You do know he basically is shooting off a one-piece rest! so you're ok with using a one-piece rest?

I suppose you are correct in that in competition if you are concerned with the "other guy" instead of doing the best you can, you are short changing yourself.

Now you're telling one of the most prolific BR good shooters and great guy he is "short changing yourself"? I know of NO shooter in any sport who does not go out and do the best he can. Not one.

Can you verify your claim that even highly competitive shooter are not having thoughts about their competitors~? Can you read into their minds~?

Your question has nothing to do with what I said. Seems to be a pattern here.

^^^^ yes I thought the original thread was about accuracy. My accuracy needs center around 100 yard 2 piece rest, score targets, both open sights and with optics. And needing to figure out how my shooting technique is effecting shot to shot dispersion. Not counting wind calls(those I'm working on also).

That's good information, but who in the USA uses metric measurements~? The single metric measurement I know is that 2.54 cm equals 1 inch~! Beyond that I always have to go to a conversion table~! LOL~! I feel bad for the military guys who have to learn what meters mean in terms of yards~!

I use metric units frequently when the audience may include foreign shooters. It is also easier to use metric units when discussing accuracy measurements as they relate easily to test center results.

Case in point....Masters....Winner shoots 73 last round....The way he was hitting it that would have been a 63 in a casual round. That's what competition and nerves are all about.

The "WHAT" isn't in question here it's the "WHEN..WHERE..HOW" that counts.
