===Factors affecting accuracy=== The accuracy of a shot relies on many different factors, which can be broken down into three broad categories: the firearm, the cartridge, and the shooter.<ref name=beers /> Accurizing generally refers to the processes that are applied to the firearm. Techniques relating to producing accurate ammunition are covered in [[internal ballistics|internal]] and [[external ballistics]], and [[handloading]], and just like accurizing a firearm, the goal is to produce the most consistent possible results. The shooter must also be consistent, and this means that the fundamentals of [[marksmanship]] have to be followed rigorously; any failure on the part of the shooter to remain focused and consistent can result in a bad shot.<ref name=beers /> It's common to use a benchrest or a vise when evaluating ammunition or a weapon for accuracy to eliminate human error.
