It's moa and im happy to take a shot at up to 250 metres on a red deer if it's a good presentation. The bullet looks ugly but is very effective.

Same. Shot reds with good effect even with Chinese Norinco & once hit in the vitals they go down pretty quick; but the longest shot was about 150 yds on a yearling hind.
