Why would anyone have someone else sight in their rifle? The answer is fairly simple. They doubt their ability to do so properly. In most cases this doubt is never openly stated, but in a few it is. So they let someone who is more skilled get their rifle shooting in the black.
It's been my experience that many hunters can't hold a 4 inch group at 100 yards from a rest. Many shoot worse than this. The reasons for this lack of ability are many, sight picture, trigger control, lack of practice and on and on. They're looking for an edge. Letting someone more skilled at shooting zero their rifle may give them that edge.
Enter the Super-Duper-Whamo Ammo. The mythical ability of this ammo is widely touted on TV shows and in magazines. Ah ha, another edge!
I have an edge, or two.........Bang.......Instant gratification.........Well, maybe not......
You don't have to skin what you don't kill.
