I don't take anything personal, just reminds me of the old saying:
"If ya can't dazzle em with facts, baffle em with BULLSHIT"
And, as you mentioned Leonard, even a whiff of a breath of a breeze would blow that poor bullet tens of YARDS at 6K. Makes the breakdown of vertical dispersion seem comparatively inconsequential...
Given there is no way to KNOW what velocity each round will leave the muzzle at before the primer pops, that negates the ability being able to correct for it. That's why 'long range' shooters rely on statistics like ES and SD, it's to narrow down a range of velocities in order to manage actual vertical group size realized on target. And that is the EASY STUFF! Calling the wind down range is more a voodoo art form, than anything.
So, we've got a shot attempt that already has a vertical dispersion potential that is many times larger than the actual size of the target. Simply stated, just ,asking a hit requires holding dead center & HOPING that the (marginalized) statistical probability of ONE of the rounds of that group will fall inside the target parameters. Bascually, a pseudo-semi-calculated guess...
After all that crap, we supposed to believe they can calculate a wind call to account for any & all variation of crosswind, head/tailwind, updraft/ downdraft AND spin drift...along an entire length of ground that is 3.4miles long???
Does there happen to be a link to selling oceanfront property in Wyoming, anywhere in that article? LMAO

Doesn't quite qualify as "one shot, one kill" does it? So I really don't see the point of all of it other than the shooter got lucky on the 21st shot instead of the 121st shot. But it seemed to make him happy so it was worth it to him I suppose.
