You're not shooting .308 match ammo at 1000 yards.

Well, not in a match in which you plan to be competitive, anyway.

NRA High Power, sure. Palma, certainly (the rules require an unmodified .223 or .308 case), but you're not shooting commercial "match" loads.

Yeah. I enjoy shooting, but I don't know a ton about competition shooting. I'm just talking about the kind of stuff you'd find labeled as "match" in a store. Any shooting I do is for kicks with a pistol at fifty feet.

I'm more interested in the application of learning algorithms and how useful they would or wouldn't be in being able to get a somewhat optimum statistical pattern out of them (optimum within the tolerances of the particular loads quality). Basically, what's the maximum accuracy you could get out of standard off-the-shelf ammo if your rifle could self-adjust, is a question I'd be interested in looking into.

If you've got any particularly relevant links on the various types of ammunition you'd use for competition, I'd be interested in reading them, though.
