131. Thus the theory, while technically improbable,
was proved to be much more plausible than previously thought

The devil is in the details now isn't it?

I qualified expert for four years running while in the marines, I never scored below a 237.

Shooting is not a mathematical thing, it is art.

I can have a good time dropping 200 rounds at beer cans from my AR or AK, but placing a round on target is not as easy as people think.

There are days I can nail a beer can from 100 yards every time with iron sights from my AR and days I cant.

Short of spending countless hours researching the best load for a rifle, actually going out and tracking down the materials and assembling them then going to a safe location to test your labor, check FPS from a Chrono, compare to that to charts etc, its is impossible to appreciate the how the smallest change can give a huge difference in results.

My experience, and I would guess anyone here on DU who shoots, will say there is no way to reproduce the results and therefore no way to prove them.
