БИТЬ В ОДНУ ТОЧКУ VP subj: human or abstr (слова, действия etc)) to direct all one's energies toward a set goal ( usu. over a long period of time often in refer, to arguing the same point persistently)
X бьёт в одну точку = X keeps (has been) hammering away at the same thing (point).

«Сергей Леонидович, - сказал Ребров, - а как вы полагаете с моим вопросом? Как мне-то быть?» Вновь, как в кабинетике Маревина, возникло грубое вожделение халтурщика: бить в одну точку. А что делать? Явился в таком качестве - и должен вести себя соответственно (Трифонов 1). "But Sergei Leonidovich," said Rebrov, "what's your answer to my question? What am I to do?" As in Marevin's office he felt once again that vulgar compulsion to hammer away at the same point. Well, what else could he do? He had come here as a supplicant, so he might as well behave accordingly (1a).
