0.7 MOA for 10-FCP-K .308

[geargrinder]

The yardage doesn't change the accuracy of the rifle it changes the accuracy of the shooter.
100 yards is usually used as the minimum to calculate MOA for high powered rifles since it is long enough that most bullets will have stabilized in 100 yards.
And the particular conditions you hunt under have nothing to do with the calculation of accuracy, they just have to do with the minimum acceptable accuracy which is an opinion not a measurement.


There is much more than the shooter that changes at long distance. Environmental changes have a bigger impact on trajectory than anything else.

100 yards usually is, but not all the time. Most of my shooting is done at longer distances. I wouldn't waste my time shooting my 338 Edge at anything less than 400 yards.

Many of the bullets I shoot take longer to stabilize than 100 yards.

0.7 moa is 0.7 moa doesn't mater what the yardage is.
0.7 moa = aprox 7.0" at 1000 yards


MOA is a measurement of angle not a measurement of accuracy.

Are you saying that you get 7" groups at 1000 yards? Or, that it should because you get .7 at 100 yards?

What I am saying with all things being equal .7" at 100 yards = 7.0" at 1000 yards.

sliderspal, true, .7 would be 7 at 1000, I think the point some are making is it never works out that way, just because you shoot a .7 at 100 it is doubtful that will happen at 1000, I would be willing to bet it will not happen to many factors involved, that is why when you posted the .7 everyone asked how far, your heart rate alone will change bullet drift, example at 200 yards with my F class 6mm br i shoot it 1/4 moa and less at 600 i average 1/2 moa and only on my best day and only twice have i come close to 1/4 moa with a 2.2 inch group only once that =.350 moa and 7 inches at 1000 yards =.668 moa as well at 100, I think that was the point trying to be made.
