"The only misses I have read about and do recall are the ones on varmints and targets at these extreme ranges. The reason why I think is that they are politically acceptable."

I posted of a miss (even entailed a slight wound) not to long ago-range in the 546 yds. give or take a yard. Got some numbers messed up. I made a drop chart that could easily be confusing with my ART reticle (my fault). Wasn't even rushed on the shot. My practice distance is 600 yards, and I felt really bad. I had never done this in practice, but I blew it that day. The animal was doing fine, as I watched it for over 300 yards, but couldn't shoot (houses and a road). Followed up to the best of my ability (confirming the health or lack of) by doing a lot of walking. Yes, I learned from it (never make a drop chart like that again).
Judging a whole group of people as being all the same (IF my perception is correct) is an interesting choice on your part.
