I am always reading about guys' guns that are MOA or Sub MOA or 1/2 MOA or whatever. I thought I had a clear understanding, but I read something on the internet (so it must be true) that has me confused again.
1 MOA @100 yards is 1.047". So, 1 MOA (@100yds) is a group (3 shot) that will fit in a circle less than or equal to 1.047" or 1 3/64" in diameter. Correct?
1/2 MOA (@100yds) is a group (3 shot) that will fit in a circle less than or equal to 0.5235" or 67/128" in diameter. Correct?
1 MOA @ 200 yards is 2.094". Same logic as above. Correct?
1 MOA @ 300 yards is 3.141". Same logic as above. Correct?
And so on... BTW, just to be picky, is that a measurement from the center of the bullet impact or the edge?
I'd like to know how to be able to CORRECTLY identify my rifle's capabilities (and I assume some others would too). Do you guys all know this because of military training, or did your Grandpa explain it when he taught you how to shoot? Surely I'm not the only one who missed that portion of marksmanship 101.
