I attribute it soley to parallax. Someone with lots of coin will have to set up some optical screen targets in a series and pass each round through the series to make a believer out of me. In other words, show me the numbers, and the numbers must come from the same 10 rds measured at each range. Putting 10 rds thru a paper target at 100 yds, and then another 10 rds at 500 are two completely independent and unrelated events. If one has garbage at any point along the path, he will have garbage for the rest of the journey. There are no ion trails out there that will cause one's bullets to converge as they move further down range.
Another potential aspect is having targets that fit ones sights at each range. I.e. at 100 yds the bulls eye will be 1/4 inch when using my 257 with its 24X scope. Move to 400 and a 1 inch bull will fit the cross hairs almost perfectly. Consistently shooting small at each range will typically improve ones performance. 1Minute
