How is artillery so precise?

Firing hundreds of KM in some cases, accurate within a few hundred feet? How is that possible? And how do they “dial in” new coordinates exactly? It all seems like magic to me

Excalibur shells, have fins that deploy after being fired to steer the shell in the air to target, has a 4 square meter targeting area on a moving target and 2 square meter on stationary, at maximum range, each shell hits exactly where it is wanted, and the way they do it is by feeding firing location + targeting location coordinates into a ballistics computer, and take the trajectory of the shell and upload it into the warhead, not sure how they get moving targets although they have absolutley demonstrated that they can do it.
