Yes on all accounts. Thought about a similar reply yesterday but decided not too for some reason. I'd bet a dollar I can affect group size more by changes in COAL than about anything else. See my post on Re26 and 270. Moved OAL 0.020" and groups went from 1" to 2+". And this in an accurate rifle. I have groups from that 270 you could cover with a quarter but velocity is a bit lower than I want. I'll take 1" groups at 3050 with a hunting bullet over 0.5" groups at 2850. All day every day. Elk really aren't that hard to hit 😉
Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.

Yep, they're much harder to find! And for public land hunts anyway, staying in shape and a good pair of boots are probably more important than any of the stuff we tend to obsess over.
A wise man is frequently humbled.
