Is there a difference between “accuracy” and “hitting-schitt-ability”?
Yep, for sure. One is the gun, the other is the shooter.
No secrets out there past that.
Pretty sure projectile efficiency and recoil figure into the hitting-schitt-ability.... and have nothing to do with accuracy. But, that’s just my experience....
Well I guess you got me there, I thought we had assumed high BC, decent velocity, manageable recoil, but maybe not. LOL. Though recoil, depending people and number of shots, really isn't that big a deal for a shot in the field IMHO. I've hit as well at longer ranges with mags as with smaller rounds. As long as the brain can overcome. I will say that heavy recoil tends to demand a perfect NPA, but one should really have that to start with too.
