Forget all the hocus-pocus mathematical formulas, phase of the moon and if Jupiter is aligned with Mars. Sight it in at what ever distance you select. If it groups well, OK. Then shoot at closer or farther distances and observe bullet impact point. The cone of dispersion is not the same on all rifles at the same distances.

If it doesn’t group well at the selected distance and it’s not the shooters fault (YOU), then start looking for a problem........
