    The squares are about 1 MOA, so 11/12 are +/- 0.5 MOA. Is that accurate enough?

    What is your / your son's setup?

    I am toying with the idea of going 223 myself for FTR to 600yds, mainly because that seems to be where the Americans have gone and a lot cheaper to do.

    I found this interesting, http://www.longrangehunting.com/arti...223-mile-1.php

    The electronic targets are way cool. I had to go back to manual for the 303 shoot and its not as fun.
