Your point about the guys that know the most about long range shooting being the guys that do it least it says volumes about long range shooting.
The point you raised about animals moving after the trigger break is an issue I have never heard explained away. If you add up the time of flight of the bullet, lock time, reaction time, there is a substantial amount of time between when the decision to trip the trigger is made and when copper collides with critter.

Great post.
