Not being a frequent shooter, I've looked at some of these accuracy issues from afar.
Curious as to what the sources of "error" are in accuracy.

Given several sources of error (call them e1, e2, etc.), statistical variation implies that the bigger sources dwarf the smaller ones to insignificance (at least until the bigger ones are reduced to near parity with the smaller ones through improved equipment, loads, etc.).
Total error = square root ((e1)^2 + (e2)^2 +...)

In the opinion of the experts, what are the biggest sources of error?
