Had they placed the mag on the ground, their groups would have tightened up enough to at least enough to make adjustments with some degree of accuracy.
(Better support from the mag on the ground would have greatly outweighed any issues with barrel harmonics.)

This was discussed before, science and all. But we can go back to placing butter on burns too.
Riddle me this, why oh why do we have "heavy barrels?"
