What is this in MOA?

[Afy]

Range 300 meters
5 shot group of 1.121 inches

calber is .260 Rem

So the agroup would be? 0.861 inches I guess?

1 MoA= 1 inch @100 yards...

Thereafter my math gets bad...

so would it be .861/3.2988 or 0.24 MoA?

 

[dutch pirate]

0.37 MOA
1" @ 100yds = 3" @300yds





Edit: Bad Math

 

[Afy]

In other words.... pretty damn accurate?

Will verify for myself on saturday...

.326MOA. True MOA is 1.047" at 100 yards and 300 meters is 328 yards. Good shooting.

more thorough...

One exact MOA at 300 meters = 3.465"
So, if you use the 1.121" measurement, you a 0.32MOA group.

Pretty damn accurate....

Well i wish I had shot that group....

Had a rifle built that did not shoot well.

Went back... has come back with the barrel replaced.

The Maker iguarantees it is capable of this... we will see on Saturday.

I would be happy with > 0.5 inches @100 meters....

Sounds like you need a new gunsmith.

 

[Afy]

Travis... accidents do happen. Plus the matter is hopefully resolved now.

I came across this site earlier this year:

http://www.ontargetshooting.com/

I haven't had chance to use it much in anger, buts its a free application that will calculate the size of your groups using photos taken of your targets....Useful for posting up pics on the net !

Cheers

1.121" = .0284734 m

.0284734 m / 300 m = .00095 radians

Now isnt that much easier than all that base 360/60/60 crap?

 

[Der Verge]

Radians......

ahhh yes, much better

 

[Caipirinha]

I would be happy with > 0.5 inches @100 meters....

You're easy to please. I can shoot that every time regardless of gun.

 

[Matt304]

There was a 6.5x284 posted a while back here, a bolt-action shot from sandbags is all I remember. Anyways, the group was like 0.3XX" at 600 yards. That's some mighty small MOA.

 

[R.W.Dale]

OK you mathematicians, What is this group expressed in MOA? and remember it's 300 METERS not yds

 

[jeff59]

(1.105 / 1.047) / 3.28 = .322 MOA

really good shooting

[matrem]

Krochus, That would be .3216 MOA.
And while I certainly agree that radians can be easier for some,I think that Bwana John in post # 10, does need to explain that a radian is approx. 57.296degrees, or 3437.76 minutes.After all,we are looking for Minute of Angle,not what "part of radian" a gun can do.Right?

 

[matrem]

Jeff 59,Sorry I didn't see your post before submitting mine.I agree,that would be a.322 MOA. & excellent shooting.

Why?

Id rather just torture people with it.

"casting pearls before the swine"

 

[EHCRain10]

it all looks like good shooting to me

 

[Chipperman]

So where's the range report, Afy?

matrem,

Not a problem, I just rounded up one more place. And still good shooting.

Because of this thread I'll add a MOA calculator to the next version of the OnTarget program. Just a little dialog where you put in the group size and distance and it tells you the MOA. Quick and easy.

... radians, funny...
anything at any distance that is less than .4 moa, is some fantastic shooting, which means your rifle can proly do better than you.
So now, you should really feel inadequate, and not up to the task....
