The internet is a big part of the problem , to many guys with all the answers that never Compete anywhere , like it or not how we find the best way is by competing against others who think they also have the best way, separates the bs from what really works pretty fast , that goes for any discipline
Not everyone wants to get the most from the rifle sometimes minute of gopher is enough
I am convinced that more often than not that most rifles are "minute of gopher" accurate as opposed to "SBR accurate"
Warren Page did an article about actual accuracy requirements and parameters in the late 60's IIRC.
