I think you are wrong making a blanket statement that there is no use for bore sighting tools.. So, here they are…precision and accuracy are different and barely related concepts in rifle marksmanship.

Please note the emphasis of accuracy on the firearm and the emphasis of precision on the shooter. And, the differentiation between the two is how one works up a firing technique that is precise and simultaneously accurate.

But your interpretation however misconstrued of the message in this whole article is yours to accept. Do the common sense method and put the target in in close yards , fire a round adjust accordingly for windage and get a decent elevation adjustment. Move it out to your desired zero distance, fire your 3rd round, adjust, and confirm with the 4th and 5th round.
