I think this is nothing. At 200 yards, if that was the distance and with a 30-06, wind isn't so much a factor that you need people doing that.  It's more the elevation you need to factor in.  And from what I saw, it wasn't a windy day.  Like you don't see the tent blowing over or things like that.

To be fair, I've never shot at 200 yards before.  But I did shoot at 100 yards a Ruger Precision Rifle and was able to hit a 3 inch gong like there's no tomorrow.  It was so easy with regular 7.62 ammo that I got bored.  And hitting a 6 inch gong consistently with an AR15, regualar 223 ammo and a zero power red dot.

So I'm basing my above at double that distance isnt' that bad compared to a 500 yard shot.  I could be wrong.
30.06 with 180gr Sierra Matchking with 100 yd zero has a bullet drop of 3.82" .  Temple poa + 3-3/4'' drop puts poi in neck

Rework it for 150 yards or less and with a scope.  Those are the factors reported so far.

OK, Tin Foil Hat time.

  If Mr. Kirk was shot in the right side of the neck and projectile exited left side of neck, why does all of the info/graphics put shooter pretty much directly in front of Mr. Kirk ?

OK, Tin Foil Hat time.

  I personally do not see the presence of a rifle on shooter after assassination and there is no evidence (visual or testimony) that alleged shooter was ever seen with a long gun
There was mention of a screwdriver present perhaps to a

The video I posted in the MSNBC video clearly shows the shooter climbing and jumping down from the roof while he held something large enough to be a rifle.  It looked like it could have been a jacket or gun bag covering it, but we now know from the press conference the gun was found wrapped in a towel which is consistent with the way the object appeared.

WHICH IS IT "video clearly shows" OR low resolution video ?
The two are not mutually exclusive.  For example, there is a video of a cop taking down a weapon-wielding attacker who has what clearly is a blade of some kind.  Only through the description of the video can we tell it's a machete.  I thought you'd be smarter than this.

"could have been a jacket or gun bag covering it"  OR "found wrapped in a towel"
Did he jump with it wrapped in his jacket, a gun bag or towel ?
I mean it's at least 44" long and over 8 lbs
I saw him jump with a backpack and flee with same.
You must not have watched the video I did.  He didn't have a backpack in his hands as he climbed down from the roof.

So?  The final facts have yet to be released.  All we have now are preliminary reports and estimates.  You really ought to wait a few more days before jumping into the tin foil regurgitator.

"so we'll have to be happy with consistency."
WHAT CONSISTENCY ?
What i said,  That he had the rifle as he climbed down wrapped in something, he carried across the grass and sidewalk, and it was found in trees wrapped in a towel.  Surely you know how deductive reasoning works?  The video tracked his movements and that he was carrying something that looked large enough to be the rifle.

   The left has consistently been telling us Trump is a fascist , racist, homophobic, mysogynist dictator for years and I'm still not happy.   
And they have also consistently been unable to provide evidence of those allegations.  Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together understands consistency isn't the same as proof.  I never said the videos proved anything -- only that they are consistent with the recent accounts of what was witness and the facts so far.

I have no idea how this post came about quoting me, I did not write it
What I did post was "30.06 with 180gr Sierra Matchking with 100 yd zero has a bullet drop of 3.82" .  Temple poa + 3-3/4'' drop puts poi in neck"

    My point was bullet drop if zeroed at 100 yds for novice (not sniper/hunter) not taking into account the drop.
4" off center on a pressure shoot for novice is not unreasonable as I assume he was going for the headshot

Anywho with the same load info (180gr)
130 yds  = -0.55"
140 yds  = -0.85
150 yds  = -1.20"
170 yds  = -2.07"
190 yds  =  3.18"

   For you purist, Hornady has higher values with 180gr CX

-0.7" at 130 yds
-1.4" at 150 yds
-3.0'' at 180 yds

Don't think the scope has anything to do with ballistic trajectory.   

I find it odd that he would spend time jumping down with the rifle, only to toss it in the bushes.  Why not just leave it?  Esp since he had writing on the brass, that shows his intent was for police to find it.  It could be possible that he was going to take it with him and dump it much far away, but someone saw him so he had to dump it there.

There was no rifle clearly visible nor was there a description of a rifle in the video so your comparison is moot.

How do you know he had the rifle if it was wrapped in something ? Did you actually SEE the rifle ? "something that looked large enough to be the rifle." is not necessarily a rifle. I could not discern him with an object 44" long

I thought that would sum it up.
Was just trying to have an open dialogue, "Prove me wrong".
