I think it was Steelhead that said once when it comes to shooting "Do a group to find a load but I'm more interested in hitting stuff. Can I put round 1 into what I want"

You find the group the rifle likes best, then adjust scope for POI.

The secret for getting that one shot where you want it, is a rifle that puts them near the same hole every time, then you and the rifle being able to deliver the bullet to that spot.

I prefer being a bigger variable than the rifle, at least half the equation is predictable....
