Are those squares 7x7”?

The squares represent 1moa

Correct, the squares are 6 inches and the V bull at 600 is 5 inches across

Shit that's a big target, certainly makes groups look impreaively good! I was assuming the "bullet holes" were proportional to an actual bullet.

Good group anyway

It is an electronic representation of a standard mind range fullbore target.

the X (inner ring) is around 0.5 MOA
the 6/V (second ring) is 1.0 MOA

Try put 10 consecutive shots in the middle while dealing with wind and you may change yout mind about it being a big target

This is a big target. These squares are 10 inches square, so still 1 MOA. The arrow isnt my shot, the target detected a hit from an F open shooter next to me, but you can work out the group size from the pic which shows you can keep your good accuracy at long distances.

Didn’t have any paper ones at 100 on my phone. So hope these will do. 750m 300win mag. The smaller group is 2.5” the other is about 4”. The target in the tree was checking zero on a .270 at 425m only 2 shots though.

Just checked my pen. More like 5.5”-6” for the bigger group.

6.5prc built by greg @100m ( thanks greg!!)

Creating a load for my .308 browning xbolt. had 6 loads all around the same group like this @ 100m.

My best day from the 2020 Nelson Champs at Westport

3 ranges shot, 300 yards, 700 yards twice.
Group sizes 0.9, 0.9 1.0 MOA respectively.

It's a good day when you keep all the sighting shots.
The deleted shot on my 3rd target was a crossfire from another shooter.

The velocities at 700 look very fast. What load?

My standard FTR load - Lapua Palma Cases, 45.0 gr 2208 with 185 gr Berger Hybrids.

Barnard 'P' Action, 32" 1:10 True-Flite barrel.
You get a little more velocity out of the longer barrel.

strokes for folks........bush hobbits dont need interbalistic misiles for sub 50 yard shots

Five shot 1/2 moa group shot today at 200m wth my .308 win shultz and larsen classic dl.

Would have been tighter except for my own slight shakes. Standard jaktmatch bbl. 155hbc @2800 fps. Leupold vx3 4.5-14*40 scope.
