Much voodoo is involved if you really want to get into it. Generally, yes. Much like accurate medium distance shooting: you can get a million power scope and have a laptop sitting there to crunch data from weather stations every 50 yds or have an experienced shooter ballpark it and go. Yes...

Internal ballistics is almost magic. Lots of factors that are interrelated. It's not just how much of the powder is burned but how well, how hot, etc. Most smokeless powders are like diesel: they don't burn well at atmospheric conditions. Take an open vat of diesel and you can drop a lit match...
