GREAT Dave! Now that is interesting. Will put it to use and see where it goes.
The guys at the range laugh at me when working on a Chicken load. I evaluate loads prone from cross sticks on paper looking for and finding sub minute of angle loads at 200 Meters.
The hard ribbing starts when I stand up and shoot off hand where it is remarked the same load won't hold minute of dump truck.

Great sport for the peanut gallery who run for cover when offered the opportunity to try their hand. Then the discussion evolves to what is and is not a quality miss.
Such is life at the chicken line.
At midrange, however, the near distance is 300 yards and the target has scoring rings where deviation has a numerical value wherein with silhouette a hit is an X and a miss is a Zero and nothing in between.
And the really big problem begins at 800 yards and ends at 1,000 yards where again deviation has a numerical value from 6-10. Everything else is Zero. Here it seems that it is wise to begin consideration of ensuring a stable bullet at target and working backward to the muzzle of the rifle. Seems bullets destabilized, especially to the extent of tumbling, rarely shoot to call.
