I've got a friend like that. He's hunted all his life and always gets his prey. He hunts with an old Rem 700 30-06 he's had for 30 years. The bore is pitted but it still shoots OK. He's not particular about ammo as far as I can tell, shoots anything 30-06 in 165 grain.
He gave me a big pile of 30-06 brass a couple years ago, mostly Remington Core-Lokt but a mix of other stuff as well. I'm sure that pile represented an awful lot of game over the years.
He's one of the best natural shots I've ever seen. He's not after tiny little minute-of-angle group, but he nearly always hits what he aims at. I didn't see it, but he had witness to an off hand 400 yard shot on a moving buck, one shot drop. He admits to that one being a measure of luck and said he really shouldn't have taken the shot, but it's still impressive.
