    The "precision" is the level of measured 'angular dispersion' the rifle generates with the group it fires.
    The accuracy is how well that group is positioned relative to the aiming point.
    I believe.

    It aint about who's right or wrong Tussock. It's about what happens in a real world situation. Competitions are good places to start. Maybe look at what ACTUAL group sizes are being shot in LR...

    Some reasons why it often goes bad.

    Accuracy is the reduction of all variables to zero. Or at least as
