I've never shot at a range further than about 150 yards. Furthest I ever took a deer was 250 yards, and given that I've only practiced up to 150 yards - I accept some luck :PI was happy that I was able to keep it under 3.5 MOA at1,000

1000 yards? Sheesh. If I could just find a bullet hole anywhere on whatever I shot at, I'd be happy, even if it's the neighbors abandoned barn!!
lolAt the Barrett class I hit a 40x40 inch target (unknown distance) over a mile away.
I'd have to check my logbook, but it was 72 or 73 MOA from my 300 yard zero
Thanks. I was too lazy to look up the accurate number.As a side note, 1 MOA = 1.0472" at 100 yards. It's just easier to use 1".

A shot group less than one inch wide at 1000 yards is awesome.I dident know that any rifle could do that with any round.How many rounds were in the group?
That works fine for short distances, but when you start getting out there that extra .0472" begins to add up. If you have to come up 16 MOA to go from 100 to 600 yards, that is 100.53" rather than 96" at 600 yards. 4.5" puts you out of the 10 ring and likely out of the 9 on an F Class target.
Group size and what you dial for adjustments are completely different bananas (since group size is what we were talking about) and after doing better than average at the Allegheny Sniper Challenge 308 only match, I think I know a little about dialing elevation and reading the wind at distance. It's one thing to shoot fixed distance targets off a vice/bi-pod. It's another to hit UKD targets at over 1k in >20 mph steady winds, in the weather, at elevation and prone on a mat being a dream.

That would depend on whether the sight/optic was set up for shooter's MOA or real MOA.That works fine for short distances, but when you start getting out there that extra .0472" begins to add up.
