I have heard plenty of silly, wrong, or flat-out falsehoods from all types of people in lots of places. Not worth the trouble of repeating other than to say most people do not know too much, so instead of admitting a lie was told and people kept repeating b.s. as gospel. My son is a dealer so I get an extra earful of his customer's and fellow employee's poop fairly regularly, too. Oh well, ignorance is not only bliss but common!
However, a large local gun shop has a special paid sight-in service (free with purchase of new optics). Not a joke they ask what distance to zero 100, 300, 600. Everyone says give me 600 cause farther is better of course. As you can guess this is simply a stadia line on a collimeter! Nothing specific to any given load and the gun is not fired to verify anything. Not kidding that I regularly hear people bragging about their 600 yard rifles. Ugh.
