well im not here to argue but there are occaisions i think its ok to challenge.
being somewhat elderly has few advantages. but one is hindsite.
there have always been great shooters. yes the equiptment we have today
is certainly better than ever. that means there are more of us able to do things
only the best were able to do in years past. fact is many of the 1000yd shooters
never annealed cases. that includes the man who held the 10 shot world record
for 14 years untill about 2 years ago. i dont think i or anyone is saying its a waste
of time dont do it. how about trimming the tips on match bullets?
we should all rush out and buy that tool also right? some will argue that if you dont
have a nightforce or schmit&bender scope you cant shoot long range. well what in hell did we use
before anybody ever even heard those names? and frankly thats not very long ago.
does a quarter or even a half grain of powder change your point of impact at 100 yds?
so why are we trickeling powder? we do it for us not the gun. we do lots of things for us.
