No one is saying they will "hang" with them in the contex of bench shooting. After 400 yds the random errors compound so fast your Annheiser doesn't give a distinctive advantage because of variables that are not controlled by the precision of the machine. If it's easier for you to do other wise that's great.
The guessing is on your side.
No guessing here, but I love how you think in terms of absolutes. Are you coming to these conclusions based on the Salvage, or have you shot a match rifle, extensively, at distance? First, you were shooting clays at 500, now 400 is full of random errors
