Dude, I think your reading into this way more, the OP said nothing about hunting, this is ballistics, if we are just trying to cold bore a piece of steel this is enough to put you of especially on a slower round at long range. My 6.5 that runs 400 fps faster than the Creed I have and will wack deer and elk at a grand with it, shot more than a few in the neck at 800+ so with that I see a 1/4 moa swing which is enough to miss the center of the vertebra hence I take any dialable effect into account, why not, does nothing but improve your solution!
